Painting embossed letters....Ahhhh yes
Tons of tricks.... Taping them off, Painting one color
then paint over that then wet sand through
that back to the first color, Vinyl decals,
Using the reverse of the vinyl decals, Silk Screen,
Rolling them with an rubber ink roller (A fellow in
Springfield, MO does it this way and is awesome!)
Best bet is to find a sign painter and have them
letter it.
Probably the toughest part of the restoration! Seen
a lot of good hand lettering and bad....Nothing like the pressure of a nice paint job riding on the Lettering  '>
Good Luck!

Has anyone tried the new 'Paint Pens" available at most hobby shops?It is the size and thickness of a magic marker, but is filled with enamel paint instead of ink.
I had pretty good luck with it refinishing a fire alarm box, but too scared to try it on my v39

HUmmm if your not actually done with the base ref ro your V 39 you could do a test run on say 2 letters and then if you hate it wipe it off( if its still wet) or sand off ( assuming your not finished with the base red coat. If you have a different( ratty/ need of paint work) machine try it on that first. I have thought It would be great if I could make masks for the various machines so you can just set it over the lettering and spray away. I suppose I could do it( and prob will for My lettering this spring) Bit I wouldnt be able to " produce all of the types" because I dont have 1 of every machine to make the template" Tho I wish I had them all LOL.

Great Info, Thanks!
Anyone know how Vendo painted the embossed orginally? Had a very good peek see at mine and can't tell. My best HA guess is stencil but could be rolled.
If anybody wants to try the ink roller approach what you want ask for at any hobby store that sells art rubber stamps is a brayer. Manufacture name being Speed Ball (one of many). Basically a mini paint roller type of thing that is a black piece of cylindrical rubber on a metal handle. Never tried it but the recomened approach is to spread the paint on a piece of acrylic and go from there. Side biz is art rubber stamps is the only way I know this :-)
Bet old license plates would work for practice.

Hello
Here is the final repaired bottle door with new metal painted & the door installed on the V56.
These are post party pictures as you can see my oyster steaming gear on the floor of the garage.

Hello
Here are two interesting pictures of the upper evaporator coil before & after I worked on them. I thought some of you would enjoy them.
