$180 sounds reasonable for powder coating. Steel with polyester powder coating can be good if it is prepared properly. Powder coating like most things is all about the preparation specification.

To do it myself would've cost me at least slightly more than $100 for all the preparation and painting supplies let alone the effort involved so I decided to go with the quote. I'd actually already bought all the stuff from Bunnings to do it myself but was able to return most of it unused and get a refund from them.
I decided on "Space Blue" as the colour and will post a pic when it comes back in about three weeks.
