Sticker stuff remover or solvent cleaner from b&q , if using the solvent cleaner do a test patch as it can take some of the paint surface off if you leave in on to long

I used WD40 and a plastic scraper, still took a bit of time and effort though.

Leave to soak for a couple of mins

Wipe off   8)

Heat gun on low, or hair dryer, white spirit, definitely no thinners.
Rub it off, lots of cloth / wipers.
