Anybody use limbotics step shaver kit?

[Mhenry1282]

Finally found a decent stepside bed for my truck, 1990 Silverado. It needs paint, and a little fiberglass work, but not too bad. Thinking of shaving the rear steps while getting the paint done, along with shaving the tailgate handle. Does anybody have an idea of what to expect cost wise from a body shop to shave the rear steps, or used one from limbotics?

The step side boxes are not fiberglass, they are SMC. Fiberglass repair materials or normal body fillers will not leave a lasting repair.
Any repairs or adding fiberglass panels would need SMC repair materials, both structural and cosmetic.

What's funny is you don't realize Tech Nova is correct. The bedsides are SMC and need to be repaired with SMC compatible products instead of polyester fiberglass resin or products containing polyester resins. If you do use polyester based products the repair can "ghost" through the finished paint work.

Oh I know he is correct, I have a 91 stepside. That's why I was wondering what is so funny to @Shawtbed96.
