Default Is this too much for Powdercoating?

I feel like it is, plus I still would have to buy the seals to go back together. This is a list I emailed to a local guy for pricing:

Wrinkle Black, to match factory H-D black:

Starter End Cover
Tranny Top Cover
Tranny Side Cover
Timing Cover
Rocker Boxes
Rocker Box Cover
Lifter Blocks
Primary
Horn Cover

Matte Black to offset the vivid paint:

Headlight Trim Ring
Chrome piece under headlight between two fork tubes
Taillight assembly(single bar, with integral brake lights)
Left and Right rear strut covers
front turn signals

All for $390

Ask the powder pro. He is a forum sponsor. He does incredible work and is fast and reasonable.

I'd like to get my front end all blacked out but creeping up on riding season and I want to be ready to go not torn apart when the weather warms up! The bike is vivid black and I really don't want to turn it into a big black blob... I spent a couple grand on a new Snap-On tool box for work, so I had really planned on more but the money just wasn't there... But for that $390 isn't a horrible price?
Thanks folks
