I'd have to imagine that it might!
It'd look nice tho IF you can get it on right. The curves could be PITA.

To split the gutter you could use a table saw, with one side against the fence it should be pretty precise. A sharp Carbide tipped blade would give the cleanest cut, though I have used a fine wood blade with acrylic plastic and so long as you don't feed it too fast it is good.

The vinyl gutter downspout idea does sound interesting. Now who's got a simple precise method to split it?
I need some for the gable ends on my Doghouse. And some to make a facia covering, as well.
Doghouse is a TT that will never move again, and has a 5/12 pitch metal roof over it. At least not in one piece!

I don't know if they've changed the character of PVC recently, but back in the day I used ABS because it didn't get brittle in the Cold weather. If that's still true I'd use Black trim.
How about ABS downsputs for gutters? Cut them down to make 2 strips from each spout? I haven't really looked at them lately,, but maybe?
Maybe even trim for Vinyl House Siding?
I see some of this has already been posted while I wasn't looking. ๐ฎ :S
Tony,
This 4" vinyl gutter is what I used to stow my sewer hose in the 5" sq. "bumper" that replaced my 4" metal one. It comes in 10' lengths and you could split it down the middle to get 20' of trim for less than $7.

Just a thought to share on the trim subject.Have you thought about talking to a continuous gutter maker for aluminum or getting some long lengths of vinyl gutter.In both cases you can cut off one side to make it into a 6 in alum or pvc 90 deg angle that way.Also a siding supplier may have some configuration already around,6in might be a good size.
Also trucker just ib passing when we were a pup bedrail was very available for projects but we soon learned that it was high carbon & not real reliable for anything structural as weldng and it did not agree with one another real well,bolting or riveting was OK. But nowadays it might be a bunch different. JUST IN PASSING. keep up the great work as I sure enjoy your project. Back in the late 60s my son & some friends built first a 23 ft class C from the ground up & then a few years later converted it into a 24 ft class A and in total we enjoyed it for 16 years & many miles. Keep on trucking as I know the fun you are having albeit work too! jmho jb
