Peel as much off then just get some metho on a cloth and give it a rub, rub the metho with a dry cloth once the residue is off

umm im not sure if this would work but on cars when your replacing the sticker for licences, dont you saturate something in water and then leave it for an hour to soak on the sticker so it becomes moist and loses its stickiness and then it comes of reasonably easy. Chemicals may affect paintwork but thats imo.

Tea tree oil is really good at removing labels (from bottles etc) as well but I think you should try and test it on a small hidden piece of paint first. I don't want to mess up your paintwork for you.

warm soapy water and leave it for a while, if on a frame keep wiping soapy water onto the sticker every min and eventually once it has all soaked through the sticker u can get a credit card and scape it all of fairly easily, wont effect paint at all

Eucalyptus oil will get the sticky residue/remainder of sticker off easily enough once the majority is peeled.

I'd second that advice. Otherwise, just your warm soapy water a scrubbing brush and some elbow grease (could even dilute the tea tree oil into the warm soapy water for extra sticker removing power).

heat it up if you think it will bring the paint with it.
