Go to an automotive paint supply store. They'll have an adhesive remover. Possibly Pep Boys or Autozone might have the same stuff too.

Local paint supply store should also carry 3M adhesive remover.

Just make sure when you use the Adhesive remover, you neutralize it afterward with water. that way it won't harm your paint
