What to use to trim the rear bedroom panels?

Finally finishing up restoring my '71 270. What is a good material to use to trim out the curved rear panels? I'm using aluminum strips everywhere else but bending aluminum U channel to match the radius on a curved panels seems like it would be difficult.

Bending the aluminum ended up not being that hard, the only issue I ran into was where I had to connect 2 pieces of trim together looks a little rough. I plan to live with it and if I ever redo i will source a piece of trim thats long enough to span the whole length, Lowes only had 3 ft sections.

Sorry for the 6 months to reply, have been moving and digging in the dirt.

I used Revolution Ply, a thin plywood product. Works great, has a nice finish and is primed on one side. Got it at Lowes.
