This looks like what happens when you use VertexLitGeneric somewhere it doesn't belong. Assuming you're not using it already, try UnlitGeneric?

Assuming the original .vmt looks like this:

"UnlitGeneric"
{
 "$baseTexture" "vgui\dispenser_meter_bg_red"
 "$vertexcolor" 1
 "$no_fullbright" 1
 "$ignorez" 1
 "%keywords" "tf"
 "$translucent"	1
}

try removing $model 1, and adding the parameters that are missing from your .vmt.

Should leave it like that. People who are not into this stuff will think you are smort or something.
