Don't leave the heat on too long, or you're actually more likely to have the glue stick to the paint. Only takes about 10-15 seconds from a heat gun on low to get the sticker to want to come off. Then use a straight razor blade to get under the corner. Keep the blade as parallel to the paint as you can get it, so you don't actually go into the clear or paint itself. No need to try and get the whole sticker off at once, either. You can start peeling a section, then heat up the next chunk, peel it off, etc...
Then as others said, use goo gone or a similar product to get rid of any residue. Put the goo gone on a paper towel and then rub it on the paint. You don't want the goo gone directly on the paint in case it runs off and has a chance to sit on it, which is when it will mess up the paint. Otherwise it's perfectly safe.
Chances are the first sticker will take a bit of effort to get it completely gone, just because you haven't done it before. After you do one, you'll have a much better feel for what you'll need to do, so it'll be way easier (and quicker). Don't worry, though, it's pretty basic.
