Default Pricing?

Hello,
I'm trying to get a price on a motorcycle intake I made so whenever I finish the real one i can get it powdercoated before summer comes. The powder place near me was asking way too much for how big my parts are.
The link below is to what the prototype one looks like, it all just plain steel (spray painted in pictures). The cone paint i would like to have candy red over a chrome base and a clear coat. The bracket piece with the elbow would just be a gloss black also with a clear coat. Can someone give me a quote on this? I dont mind shipping the pieces either.

pictures are in "Intake" folder

Thanks, Luke

that could work, but the problem is i havent made the final one for my bike because i've had some trouble trying to get the cone symetrical and since i'm at college i dont have much time to work on it until spring break in march. You should also know that this air intake does NOT actually work. Its just for show since i moved my air filters to the top of the carbs under the tank. The cone also will have slits in it (the prototype has holes) because I will put led's on the inside of it again.

If i get the final one done, and send it to you that would give you a chance to look at in person and if you didnt like it I would pay for the powdercoating. However, if you did like it, i could make one and send to you.

If you would like to this, i would also, but it might be a a month or two until i'm ready to send it.

thats great. i'll message you sometime in the next month when i get it done, which hopefully will be the end of march. I'm still not sure what candy color i want to go with over the chrome, is there a big difference between candy red, lollipop and translucent red? or are they all pretty much the same?
