I have been working on a top panel of a motorcycle seat for the last week or so. I got everything dyed and when I out the Resolene on it removed some of the Dye/cova color. Can I use deglazer and remove the Resolene and do my touch up?

Well, no one has jumped in with help or advice.

I reckon, by experience, you can do that but you'll have to face-up to the deglazer removing some of the dye as well. Resolene can be removed with alcohol as well; methylated spirits, vodka.... A more aggressive cleaner is lacquer thinners, aka cellulose thinners

I would; reckon on going over the whole piece to remove all the resolene, this will probably remove some dye as well. Depending on how I [you] want the final look; continue to remove dye to even it out, or leave it patchy. Patchy, as long as it doesn't look a mess, can add interest to a plain coloured surface

Yeah that is exactly what happened. Ended up taking it as close to natural as possible and then re dyed everything
