I've had good results with the aluminium extrusions with diffusing caps for led strips.
Are you painting with a roller? I've been nagging myself to use a roller more often, with acrylic paints and a small foam roller you can get a great finish. I got so used to painting with a brush it's become my go to.

I think I’m literally going to fit a 15mm mdf piece at the top of each box and then use led strip clips to fix them behind that.
The leds will be shining into the box and won’t need diffusing as they’ll be plenty bright enough to avoid looking like individual lights.
Definitely using a foam roller. Zinsser bin then Craig and Rose chalky emulsion.

Thanks! Still working out the best way to incorporate the LED stip lighting. It’s between creating an entire fascia board that sits on top of the edges or creating little strips that fit into each recess. Either way, there’s going to be lots more to do.
