You've got the basetexture path wrong. It should be

Code: Select all: "$basetexture" "maps/hard_paint/sign"

All paths in a material file are relative to the materials folder.

I just changed the $basetexture value and it worked fine for me. Make sure you are putting your material inside "steam/steamapps/common/portal 2/portal2/materials/maps/hard_paint" instead of "portal2/materialsrc/..."
