ive had luck if its not to tight to use laquer thinner/paint remover and q tips. Try that. If not razor blades and meticulous working withought slicing through works as well.

yea i would use a good paint remover from a painting supply store go in and tell them your scenario and they will point you to the right product, you may be able to get a can of 3m general purpose adhesive remover to work as long as the paint hasnt been on for a while
