Default plastic angle

a few years ago i could go into any of the diy sheds and but plastic trim
angle pieces, they did 12 x 12mm, 20 x 20, 30 x 30, 12 x 2mm and so on, in a
variety of colours, i still have some grey and pink stuff in my garage from
a past project.

Now i want a fair few lengths of the 12 x 2mm stuff, all the diy sheds seem
to have got rid of that stuff, all they seem to do now is either that fake
wood effect stuff in every colour except the wood i have, or white or black
only.

I'm after some light brown plastic angle, 12mm x 2mm or so, to trim around
the many cupboard door openings in my van, i need the stuff with a small lip
so it covers up the slight imperfections made by the saw blade as it scored
the vynal covering of the wood,

and the cupboards in a motorhome are not made like a carcas in a kitchen...
you take a sheet of wood for the front panel, mark out the openings where
you want them, cut them out, and use the cut out as the door trimmed with
some molding wood made for making cupboard doors.

The last way i trimmed the cut outs was to use knock in T molding, but i
dont want to use that on this van, i want a lip to cover the front of the
panel slightly around the cut out.

But where do i get light brown.. or cherry wood effect fake wood plastic
angle from nowadays?

prolly loads if i wanted white or black

i dug out some of the trim i had left over from my last van, it's made by
homelux, i have some L section, 90 degree angle and some U section.. but all
in the wrong colour.. grey or pink,

th L and U section stuff has a lip of about 2mm which is what i want, all
the pvs extrusion sites i've looked at do the lip about 6mm when it's a 12mm
main part width.

but heck, i've got a bandsaw, so if i could just fond some 12mm angle in
light brown i could cut down one side.

homelux dont seem to have a website, so i can't easily ask them why all the
big diy stores stopped stocking their products.

Phone this shop they stock it in brown,whether they will mail order it I
don't know?
Other than that look up small handyman shops in you're area as some of
these still carry old stock.
