Default What'll it probably cost for a DT250 to be powder coated?

Looking for some user opinions:

As it stands there is minimal rust on my machine, its got 3200 miles on the odometer, just starting to look flaky after 30 years. I wanted to powder coat the frame, swingarm, some aluminum panels I made to hide that I pulled the airbox in the triangle sections, the headlight bucket, the oil inj. tank, ..the entire wheels (drums centers and outer rings), the front and rear sprocket, and the chain guard and engine skid plate and the headlight retaining arms on the forks all in a dull flat black.
I also was looking at powder coating the rear fender and tank in a cream orange but I wasn't sure what kind of cost I'm looking at for something that custom.

Figured people would have experience having paid for such in the past.

Also I have a HD POR15 tank restore kit, because the liner peeled in the tank is why I'm thinking of doing this. I was going to electrolosys the tank and I wasnt sure if they can powder the inside of the tank somehow while they paint the outside. My other alternative was getting a 74 Clarke plastic YZ250 tank brand spankin new in orange.

Can the front plastic fender be powdered to match the rear fender?

Thanks for the info in advance. Motor's all set, just need the paint/pc!

I got quoted 300 to do everything on the bike flat black except the wheels, forks, tripples, tanks and fenders. Good price? Its not a big bike, and its not a small bike, so I'm not sure what its worth.
