Where do you buy nevr dull? My metal shop teacher in high school let me use some once and it was some great stuff but I never figured out where you can get it.

Porcelain is made by layering glass and baking at high temp. It will be thick, if chipped will show the layers. Painted will just be flat.
Make sure you know what kind of sign you have before cleaning with harsh chemicals.

With out seeing it, or touching it, i'm guessing yes. Like Creighton said porcelain will have a layered look and feel, and will feel heavier.
If you've ever been to a flea market or Target or Michell's take a look at the tin sins they sell, you will see what is meant by a thicker  coat.  The tin signs are painted.

Good bet that the Coke part is porcelain. The Grocery is maybe paint. If you could post some close up pics may be able to help further.
Very cool sign!!
