only thing I can think of: tape aluminum foil around the spot and use a heat gun on it. The cement should be brittle enough to carefelly pick off. Just watch out for your paint with the gun, they get HOT.

You can also try acetone which is a cleaning/drying agent. Soak it first, then try the gun.

Try blasting it off with a hose.

I always use a pickaxe when breaking up concrete around the house. Watch the paint. Bummer.

LMAO! Seriously, I'd be VERY careful. The chemical make-up of concrete alone is very bad for paint. Good luck, and use lots of PATIENCE!
