Thanks ... I discovered Tamlyn back in September and ended up using some of their Hardie trim products.

hey 3DK!

just wondered if you had any luck w/the Tamlyn products?   Were you (aesthetically) satisfied?  We're planning to use their Xtreme trim products with our 4x10 hardipanel siding.   Any tips or suggestions from your experience? 

BBMalone,

The Tamlyn Xtreme trim worked fine for my application.  They are different than Fry-Reglet in that they are coated to accept paint rather than to be left as bare (anodized) alumunim reveals.  If you wanted a contrasting reveal, I'd advise pre-painting the trim and the Hardi each color you want before installing.  My panels and reveals will all be the same color, so I didn't need to pre-paint anything.

Also, since these trims are made for the 5/16" residential hardi products (which is more pliable than their commercial line), be sure your sheathing is close to perfect, so the the panels will lay flat.

Here is their catalog of trim pieces:

That link is broken now, but I definitely recommend the Tamlyn XTreme Trim. It works beautifully with Hardie siding. Plus they've got color matching flashing now, which came in very handy a couple times. Try tamlyn.com, I think that link should work.
