Coilover is correct . Never, ever use any product containing Silicone on any surface you intend to paint. I should have been more specific and stated standard WD40. Standard WD40 does not contain silicone. They do offer a product "WD40 Specialist Spray" that does contain SIlicone and clearly says so. I have used standard WD40 to remove residual adhesives that are often left on the surface after using heat to remove stickers or labels, without issues. I follow up by cleaning the surface using Alcohol 70/30 water mixture.

"Norm Larsen, founder of Rocket Chemical Company, is considered the original founder of WD-40," according to wd40.com. ... WD-40 does not contain fish oil, contrary to a popular myth, nor does it contain silicone, kerosene, water, wax, graphite, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)."
