$150? for everything? That's amazing. I dropped $200 on my frame alone.
Steve Ford did it before his shop closed (which someone bought and is
supposed to reopen with Steven manning the shop but is taking forever). He
is actually pretty cheap for the northeast.

You do have to go over with the guy who does it what you want masked, like threads and threaded holes and such. You'll still have to remove it from places on the frame, battery tray, headlight shell, and rear fender to make sure that you have a good electrical ground throughout your system. On my second Ambo, I had them go over the black with clear powdercoat; it gave it a shinier finish and the black was blacker, rather than having greyish overtones. The drawback was that it was a bit thicker. John Prusnek
