That's a really good price. I've never priced it out personally, but from what I remember hearing it's usually at least twice that.

My buddy builds the ovens and deals with powder all the time. Price breaks down on how they do the job most times they will sandblast them and then powder them then cook them Long proccess and haas to be done right or will crack or not look clean.

Also the color make a difference most powder distributers wont sell you anything under 5 pounds of powder so you have to buy in bulk and if the place doing it does not have the color it may drive up the price.

For a good job I would say about $275 for all four
