a pic would help, theres a good chance you can get away with t-cut, but cant tell till i see the damage.
in future dont use anything solvant to remove the glue, this will bleach the plastics or even begin to strip, or fade the paint.
in future just use veggie oil. yup the stuff in your kitchen. little bit on a soft rag, rub it on the glue, leave it for about 5 mins then keep rubbing and adding more veggie oil. after a while it'll all go and your paint and/or plasics will be fine.

i've been painting custom motorcycles for a number of years now, so a small repair like yours should be easy enough. you wouldnt beleive the damage that can be fixed with a small amount of money and a bit of elbow grease.

if it looks like its faded then t-cut or if the paint has started to come off then either take it to paint shop or do it yourself,
