Need help cutting outline into a solid

[Orion17 0]

So I'm working on a project for a race car and I want to layer two solid images instead of layering an outline over a the solid for more durability.  So the orange cuts solid, but the black cuts as the outline.  So I want to cut that black as a solid color to overlay the orange on top. However I cant figure out how to cut the black as a solid image. Any help?  Using VM PRO

I would create a very very close or zero distance outline of the black letters, square corners - and cut that. Or you can delete all the inner nodes but that would take more time.

I would cut the black as a solid, and layer the orange over the black.

Doing a thin black outline to overlay on the orange, will not give it more durability - if anything, it'll be more inclined to peel because you now have not just an outside edge, but an inside one too.

I don't know if you can open EPS files in Vinyl Master,   but here's what you are looking for.

Just Type out your Text (or Select your Object) and Menu> Objects> Outlining Module (Shift+ALT+N) or under the "T" Symbol in the Tool Panel.

Adjust your Outline's Options and "Accept". Your Outline will be a full pad under your Object that you can cut by Color.

I'll give you this, but I highly encourage you to spend some time getting to know the software. I posted the two files that could've been use for vectorizing to be cut.
