Sorry to hear that, just make sure you get a sensible amount for the car, refuse their first, second and third offers at least!!!!!!
Might be worth getting some quotes from local bodyshops for the repair but I suspect that even with sourcing your own paint it's still going to be pricey, just depends on how much you want to keep the car!

Shame ur so far away as I would help you, I can get the tools to fix like I did mine, but why a full paint job? Worse comes to worst it should only be is the rear quarters and boot/bumper

I can't see the need for a full respray either as they would only need to paint the rear half of the car as that's the only part that's damaged obviously it would need blending in but that can be done with a good polishing compound and a restorer for the front to match them in I think.
I reckon they know it's a total loss, they know your keeping it and the fact that your getting paid out on it so to me theyre just trying there luck to get a bit more brass out of you
