Restoring an HNG 100/58 generator for the 100 W.S.

For the sake of providing my 100W.S. machines with power diversity, I got an HNG 100/58.   I have a question about German stencils.   The paint on top of the generator section is falling away very badly, and if I blow air on it, the paint will be gone.   I would like to re-paint this part and apply the correct stencil for the lightning bolt, and the text "Vorsicht Hochspannung!"   

Is there a good source of these German 1930's fonts that I can source?   And in your all opinions, what color paint is both the background and the writing?

Thank you in advance.....

I think it's impossible to find the exact font.

I'd take a good photo from the original and measure the text and lightning height and length,

then print it out with right measures, cut out the text and use it as a help to recreate the text.

 

Below there isn't any text?

Thanks Val.   That's probably what I will have to do.
