first step is to wash down the area with a good stiff brush and some APC. Depending on the outcome you can use some commercial paint removers or solvents are areas that need it.

This will "probably" be a tough one to deal with. I say probably because the underside or your wheel wells are generally somewhat dirty to begin with but this could be a plus. To adhere properly the cleaner the surface the better the bond.

Try using a power washer and see if it doesn't peal the paint off.

Go out there soon. I did the same in my car, they painted a speedbump and didnt post a sign. Mine scraped off quite easily with a plastic razor, like bobby said my wheel wells were a little dirth at the time. Luckly I didnt have any on my paint.

I need to take my rims off and and detail my wheels really good and clean and paint my wheel wells so I can see and make sure I got everything off.
