Try some meths, it won't harm the paint.
Failing that Trichloroethane but where gloves and do it outside.

Hi, had same problem and got loads of advice. Mine was for removing the stripe and glue from a hightop so no paint underneath!I eventually used a hair drier to soften the glue, wiped over with cheap "standard" thinners and then used t-cut to remove residue.
I was then told by my brother that when he was a paint sprayer he would heat up the glue as I had done (but a professional hot air gun) and then use spirit wipe, or tar remover. Hope this helps!
