urethane on paint

I tried installing the silver horse racing louvers on my own. Not the best idea, I've ever had. I've got some leaks, but thats not the real problem.
The fast cure auto glass urethane, got onto the paint. I didn't notice, until I was done. Any ideas to get it off? I couldn't get it, so I took it to a professional today, with no luck.

Maybe ask an auto glass installer what they would do?

Since automotive paints tend to be urethane based, I would say solvents are a 'NO', otherwise your paint may come off with the glue. Your best bet might be a plastic scraper or some careful work with a razor blade. Hopefully your wax kept it from fully bonding to the paint

Another thought...I wonder if a heat gun might help soften it up
