I have a sticker (from the old owner) on the rear bumper, which is painted. Does anyone know how to remove the sticker without damaging the paint?

If it's paint then check out the tips in this thread,
Painted on "Pin Stripe", how to remove?
Remember, whatever you decide to use, test on your actual car paint first and make sure it's not harming the car paint. If it dulls the original paint you can fix that, the important thing is to find something that will remove/dissolve only the 'sticker paint'

Re: Sticker Removal.
I am guessing a bumper sticker on a bumper that is painted? Am I right? If so you can sometimes heat the area with a hair dryer to loosen the adhesive. Then use something like goo gone or, believe it or not, WD-40 to remove the residue. Make sure you follow up by cleaning the area and then protecting the area with your favorite wax or sealant.

Re: Sticker Removal.
Use a heat gun( but be careful and don't get to close or hold it to long) just long enough to get the surface warm, also can use a hairdryer (same technique) and then get ahold of the sticker and peal off slow and easy. I use plastic razor blades(helps get's what ever your trying to remove from your cars surface without damaging or scratching) to help remove stickers, pin strips and any other decals on a paints surface.
Then you can use Isopropyl alcohol, goo gone or a sticker glue residue remover and apply to a micro-fiber towel and lightly rub over the glue residue to remove.
Now it depends on how long the sticker was on the bumber to the outcome, if it left an imprint/outline of the sticker itself.
