Thinners may bring it off, it wont damage the surrounding paint aslong as it hasn't been rattle canned, and obviously dont leave thinners on the paint.

Depends what you plan to do afterwards with it - could wet sand a fair amount of that off.

I'm guessing sponge lol

With the thinners, rub gently on it and have a bucket and sponge of clean soapy water to clean the paint off afterwards.
