If it's epoxy you're probably out of luck. Anything that will dissolve epoxy will take paint with it. You might try extreme hot/cold to get it to expand relative to the base material and break the adhesion, but there's a good chance you'll ruin the paint with that too.

You might be able to use an adhesive remover made by 3m, can be bought at pretty much any automotive shop or walmart in the automotive area. May or may not work.... I used it on my friends yukon to take off all his emblems but they were held on by trim tape.
