HELP, powder coat quote!

I'm at the last part of my Sportster bobber build. The paint is done and the powder coat is the last part. How much am I looking to spend to powder coat these parts?

Matte black:
handle bars
bar clamp
brake and clutch levers
triple tree (top and bottom)
fork legs
strut bars
foot control levers (no pegs)
head light
front and rear turn signals (4 total)
mirrors

Nickel plate(titanium gold):
front and rear wheels (mag)
rocker covers
headlight rim
turn signal rim (4 total)

I've been quoted between $1000 - $1500. This seems expensive. Can anyone let me know how much you paid for powder coating or how much I should pay?

The forum user you are looking for us JRK5892. He did my passenger floor boards and they came out great for a modest cost.

Joe is the Man! I just used him for the first time after having bad experiences with local East coast coaters. I wouldn't recommend anyone else. Flawless work and good pricing!
