heat them up a bit then pry them off and use thinners on a rag to get the rest of the sticky stuff off

Tar and glue remover is a good bet for the residue,heat gun for the stripes,gently gently and it's works a treat.

dont use thinners, use autoglym 'bug and tar' for the glue
works well and no paint damage!
