Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Hey!
So we were plugging along on our TD but have come to a stall. Nowhere in Fort Worth seems to have aluminium sheeting and I found a place where I could get a 4x10 for $62 for .032 only for them to tell me it's not going to work for my project. Plus there's nothing they have I can use for trim to cover the extra 1/4" (roof is 48 1/2" wide since I have a sandwich wall with 1/4" outside the trailer frame.
On the blogs and build journals I haven't been able to find how to do just the roof in aluminium. I'm thinking maybe forgoing the whole aluminum roof but I still need a type of trim. With my mural design I'm painting I think the aluminum roof will look better plus be more durable. Open to other options though!!
I'll try to get a picture of my design up.

Waco has a trailer manufacturing that has color rolls and will sell it cut to whatever you want. I think it's a little wider but was about 7 years ago I bought it so I'm a little spotty memory wise.

What do I use for trim? Discount Steel had no idea and didn't think it was possible to use angle iron.

Bottom are the ones can be bent and you have to buy the vinyl insert to fill the slot.

Try Redneck Trailer Supply in Arlington. Years ago, I bought a Dexter torsion axle and aluminum trim from them.
