I’m trying to figure out how or even if this clear resin cover comes off so that I can refinish my horn button. Tried to pry at it a little bit but didn’t want to damage it. I am hoping somebody know how I can get this thing off so that I can refinish it Thanks

That resin is molded with the emblem embedded in the back, and then it's painted so it shows through. I honestly don't know what would remove the old paint without ruining the piece. I'd like to do mine as well,  but I think I'm going to just have to live with it for now.
Trying to scratch it off will damage it and no amount of paint will be able to hide it.

The clear part is permanently attached. Be extremely careful. If you protect the inner circle where the emblem is (Do not mask it!) you can paint the two outer rings, where most of the damage appears, with black modelers paint.  I believe the emblem and inner circle is gold leaf and very very fragile. Good luck.
