Painting costs

Our property in Charlotte, NC was a rental for 5 years before we bought it. The entire house inside and out was painted "builder beige". It's an open floor plan so we hired a color consultant and are ready to get some painting done. The walls have seen some abuse and need quite a bit of repair in the sense of tape seams cracking and little dings and chips on corners.

The painter quoted us $8000 to do all the painting (wall, trim, crown moulding, doors, some ceiling) and wall repair. Seven colors interior total. Three colors exterior plus shake staining. The home is 2850/sq ft and two story, with high ceilings throughout the home.

He wasn't the cheapest quote, but seemed the most thorough and professional. Does this seem in line with what anyone here has experienced? It's daunting to drop that kind of $$$ on paint, but we feel it's going to make it feel like a new home. Thanks for your input!
