Most of it should come off if you heat it up with a hairdryer. Any sticky residue can be taken care of with Goo Gone.

I just heated up all of the individual letters with a hairdryer and peeled them off S-L-O-W-L-Y... didn't really leave much stuff on the paint at all - just an faint outline of where the letters were... I wiped it down with a dab of scratch-x, coated it with wax, done deal. can't even tell they were ever on there...

I've used it to get the adhesive off my car when I removed my rear bowtie and my GM fender emblems and it didn't do any harm and I know many other people that have used it without problems either.
