1. A wall panel trim reveal system for cladding a wall with non-overlapping wall panels, comprising: one or more horizontal trim pieces having a bottom ledge adapted to support a bottom edge of a wall panel received thereon, the bottom ledge having a downward slope extending out to a horizontal reveal and adapted to extend out past the wall panel received thereon, the horizontal reveal having a substantially vertical flat surface;one or more vertical trim pieces having at least one tab forming a slot for receiving one or more horizontal trim pieces therein, the at least one tab adapted to retain the substantially vertical flat surface of the horizontal reveal, wherein each vertical trim piece includes: at least one mounting wall adapted for mounting the vertical trim piece to a building wall; anda bump attached to the at least one mounting wall and formed near an inside corner of the slot at which the at least one tab is attached to the mounting wall, the bump adapted to abut any wall panels received within the vertical trim piece to keep the wall panel off the building wall and to abut an edge of the one or more horizontal trim pieces received within the slot, such that a length of each vertical trim piece is not obstructed by the horizontal trim piece;whereby the bump forms a moisture drainage channel along each vertical trim piece when the horizontal and vertical trim pieces are installed together with wall panels to direct moisture away from the building wall. 2. The wall panel trim reveal system of claim 1, wherein the bump is adapted to keep the wall panels off the wall and close to the at least one tab. 3. The wall panel trim reveal system of claim 1, wherein the bump has a hooked shape, such that the hooked shape forms a moisture channel running along each side of the bump along the length of each vertical trim piece. 4. The wall panel trim reveal system of claim 1, wherein the one or more vertical trim pieces comprises a corner vertical trim piece having perpendicular mounting walls and two tabs forming slots for receiving two horizontal trim pieces therein, each of the slots having a bump forming a moisture drainage channel within each tab running along each vertical trim piece. 5. The wall panel trim reveal system of claim 4, wherein the one or more vertical trim pieces comprises an outside corner vertical trim piece having two tabs and a corner edge there between, such that the two tabs and the corner edge form the appearance of a triple corner. 6. The wall panel trim reveal system of claim 4, wherein an outside corner vertical trim piece comprises two tables formed from a double-sided rounded corner edge forming two slots, such that the two tabs and the rounded corner edge form the appearance of a continuous rounded corner. 7. The wall panel trim reveal system of claim 1, wherein each horizontal trim piece has a bottom ledge with a downward slope of between 3 degrees to 10 degrees from horizontal. 8. The wall panel trim reveal system of claim 1, wherein each horizontal trim piece has a bottom ledge with a downward slope of between 5 degrees to 8 degrees from horizontal. 9. The wall panel trim reveal system of claim 1, wherein each horizontal trim piece has a bottom ledge with a downward slope of 6.6 degrees from horizontal. 10. The wall panel trim reveal system of claim 1, wherein the vertical trim pieces have at least one rotatable tab forming a slot for receiving one or more horizontal trim pieces therein. 11. The wall panel trim reveal system of claim 10, wherein the at least one rotatable tab is rotatably hinged to mounting walls at a hinge socket, and further include locks for locking the tabs into position. 12. The wall panel trim reveal system of claim 10, wherein the at least one rotatable tab is rotatably hinged to mounting walls at hinge sockets by a non-circular hinge ball that, when rotated within the hinge socket progressively locks the tab into position by increasing mechanical friction, thereby preventing the tab from sliding along its length within the hinge socket. 13. The wall panel trim reveal system of claim 1, further comprising a vertical top cap trim piece adapted to trim two wall panels separated by a vertical back plate, the vertical top cap trim piece having locking protrusions adapted to interlock with corresponding locking protrusions in a channel formed in the vertical back plate. 14. The wall panel trim reveal system of claim 13, wherein the vertical back plate and the vertical top cap trim piece are adapted to be interlocked by their locking protrusions without fasteners. 15. The wall panel trim reveal system of claim 13, wherein the vertical top cap trim piece has offset vertical reveal tabs adapted to receive wall panels of different thicknesses. 16. The wall panel trim reveal system of claim 1, wherein at least one of the one or more horizontal reveals extends downwardly and is adapted to cover a top of any wall panel installed below the at least one of the one or more horizontal reveals. 17. The wall panel trim reveal system of claim 16, wherein the at least one of the one or more horizontal reveals is further adapted to hold the top of any wall panel installed below the at least one of the one or more horizontal reveals against the wall. 18. The Wall panel trim reveal system of claim 1, wherein the one or more horizontal trim pieces includes at least two horizontal reveals adapted to extend out past the bottom edge of the wall panel so as to be visible after installation of the wall panel, the at least two horizontal reveals being parallel and has a center reveal visible therebetween. 19. The wall panel trim reveal system of claim 1, wherein the horizontal reveal has or have a substantially vertical flat surface which is adapted to engage an inside surface of the at least one tab forming the slot.
