Pick as much of it off as possible then use some white spirit or paint thiner(sounds dodgy i know but worked for me and didnt damage the paint!) and scrub it off!!!!!
If there is a dull line let apparently you can go to your bodyshop and they can use a sanding block on a dril to get it off but thats just going by the max haynes manual!!!!!

I was just gonna say, use a hair dryer to heat it up, and it should come off.

Mine did

There was 2 of us at it on mine and it still took ages. The best method i found was to soak the stick strip in paint brush cleaner fluid, then dry with hair dryer, making sure it's well heated, then quicky remove with your nails
