The adhesive and the paint are two different materials. Acetone does a great job of dissolving some polymers and a terrible job on others. Water does a great job of dissolving some polymers and a terrible job on others. Same for xylene, kerosene, mineral spirits, etc.
Polyurethanes are fairly soluble in acetone as are epoxy resins. Since these are more commonly used in paint for bikes, it's a good idea to keep acetone away from them. The same resins can stand up to aliphatic hydrocarbons quite. The adhesive can't. The adhesive, however, doesn't dissolve in acetone like it does in the hydrocarbons. It will just clump and stick and require more application of acetone with the possible damage to the paint that can ensue.
