PCG offers both. I was wondering which was factory correct.

Gloss is factory correct
Alan,
All of the survivor 1970 Cudas I have inspected came with low-sheen factory hockeystick stripes. Same for the 1971 Cuda billboard stripes.
Modern 3M gloss stripes are too glossy and the modern 3M matte stripes are too flat.
I cringe every time I see an auction Cuda for sale with glossy stripes.

Do you know of any vendor who makes a low-sheen (satin) hockeystick for a better match to what the originals looked like new?

Sorry, no I don't not know who sells the "correct" sheen that will match 53 year old survivor stripes.  :notsure:

I tried a set of NOS stripes but they didn't work out. That's why I'm going with Alan's suggestion of PCG.

What does Phoenix Graphix have?
Pretty sure they are matte black. https://phoenixgraphix.com/p-d/ct104.php
Their 1971 billboards are definitely matte black.

Let us know if you call and get a confirmed answer.
