Not at all, if it was totaled I wouldnt have bought it 
it has about 12 minor hail marks on the hood and roof, which I hear arent hard to take out, and the front left fender is dented moderately. All I wanted was the damage taken out and painted a dark green to go good with the tan interior.

If you are trying to get that color, no need for 4 grand. I think whoever gave you the estimate took you as a jackass and decided he'd see if you'd take it.
Anyways, Macco is a car painting shop, usually continental. They have quite a few here, you might want to look them up? I've never had my car painted/detailed there, i've got friends that do it, but you might want to look it up and see if you know anyone else that has gone there? It could save you like 3500$.
