So my body man masked of all of the holes in the floor of my charger when he was painting it. He did not remove it and now I have lots of stuck cheap a$$ed masking tape that I need to remove. What is a good product to remove it? I would like to find something that will not hurt the paint. Thanks Tim

Soak with either WD-40 or mineral spirits (charcoal lighter). Go back a few hours later with a plastic scraper or bondo spreader that won't hurt the paint. Done.

At the garage we had, we used lighter fluid to remove old inspection sticker residue off the glass. Can't say I ever tried it on a painted/primed surface. Those erasers they sell for removing stripes that you use with a drill would take it off also.
