I bought Art3d Black Outside-Corner Trim as part of my camper van equipment.

Comparing the Profile Around a Finished Panel Edge
I cut a front face and triangular sides from black aluminum composite sheet.
I joined the heater-cover panels with brackets and self-tapping screws.
The angled platform made the final fit and fastening access part of the job.

My Takeaway from This Job
The cover created outside corners as well as a front surface. My trim purchases compare a wrapping corner profile, a narrower decorative border and an L-shaped edge, each covering the panel boundary differently.
An outside corner, narrow border and L edge cover different panel profiles.

Attachment
Peel-and-stick backing
Outside-corner trim wraps the junction of two visible faces. Check that both faces meet cleanly before measuring the trim, because a bowed edge can prevent the profile from sitting evenly. Cut a short trial piece to check the angle, then measure the full length and the end joints. Press each leg against its receiving face along the entire run. On a box-like cover, plan the sequence at the corners so one strip does not leave an awkward overlap beneath the next.
How Does Outside-Corner Trim Differ From Flat Banding?
The corner profile wraps two adjoining faces. Flat banding covers a single narrow edge or border.

Two Alternatives to Compare
The narrower Art3d molding creates a different border profile. Protalwell uses an L-shaped edge, so the section shape and amount of edge coverage distinguish these options.
This gray L-shaped rubber trim uses a peel-and-stick backing along an exposed edge. Its small profile offers another adhesive-backed approach to finishing a panel border.
