I've used a few of their body strip decals, quality was good, no issues....but what you need to clarify with them sometimes is the stripe sheen/finish, if it's not mentioned before ordering, it will either hold up your order, or you get what they send ...

For a bumblebee stripe, would it be gloss black?
Most all the black stripes offered over the last few decades from vendors are incorrect in sheen/finish, original black stripes when new had a very slight texture to the surface and a "dull" matte sheen which wore/faded as they aged in the weather/UV, only one company (Motor City Originals) back in the day offered "original" style decals in the correct textured black finish, the mat'l is still available from 3M, if OEM is your choice perhaps you can have Phoenix, or another stripevendor acquire it and cut a decal from it, the correct material is currently marketed under the 3M trade name Di-Noc

Mike - True statements and Di-noc is still made today, unfortunately I don’t believe the original texture is offered. Di-noc is a generic name for a vinyl wrap, offered in many textures and patterns. I did an exhaustive search for this when making my AAR stripes, those originally had a pattern best described as an orange peel. Unsure if the material was any different for other models using a low sheen black. Seems like the base material would have been similar. I wasn’t able to find a match offered or a leftover roll for sale. The common belief is that the original material required chemicals that are no longer considered acceptable for use today and therefor not offered in its original form.
If the OP desires, and has a material they feel is closer in texture/sheen, I’m almost certain PHX Graphics would work with him to cut the material, though I’d recommend coordinating prior to purchasing material.
Best of luck finding what’s correct, it can be a lesson in frustration.
