Flextrim is your friend and its a paintable rubber / composite material. You aren't thinking about making the thing are you? Talking about working for free? As shaper is needed plus custom knife is necessary for the profile to match existing. Flextrim takes care of all that for you if you get them the radius or cure and the profile. That looks like a typ. profile and I am sure they have it in stock. That's a lot of fun making but you will spend some time doing it. We had to match a large cure baseboard for a job we did last year. I ended up getting the radius (12")turned on the lathe to match the profile then cut to fit. it was stain grade. I just didn't want to spend the time to cut it on my shaper. it would have taken me a whole day just for the setup. I have never been a big fan of the MDO type products although many freeway signs are made out of this stuff. If you decides to get shaper knifes, go to LRH in Chatsworth. I buy my knifes from them. They are not the China or Taiwan imports but quality knifes.
One more great thing about flextrim. It FLEXES and you can push and pull to fit the arch. You will be "Fooked" if it was made it out of wood if you are 1/2" off. This one isn't easy, and I hope you make a few bucks on it.
