Looking for specific aluminum channel. Anyone know of a company that has this or what this could be called?
I've looked into Hat channel (not quite), J channel (too small).
Can be square of rectangular and hopefully already fabricated. Looked into custom work and it's too pricey for my blood.

Simlar to this but no need for angles besides 90 degrees

Another option is a get flashing (but need a source, Roof Mart??) and rent a brake and make it myself.
Need < 20 pieces at 10' lengths.

This is for DIY trim lighting.

i used j channel, it's a tight fit but it worked alright (i pointed my lights horizontally not vertical), would also be worth looking in to vinyl siding pieces, i found a profile in that which was a larger j style, but my soffit is brown so the color wouldn't match, might work for white.

Yeah was going to go vertical. I have one idea in mind but still exploring another option that might look even better.

Looked at vinyl, it definitely is larger but not sure how good that would look with my current aluminum facia and aluminum siding. Wished it wasn't textured.

Willing to paint the pieces with a spray gun and car paint.

Directly off their site, not too hard to do those bends.
