p.s.: And remember, you cannot prevent anyone from filing suit against you.
thank you both very much for this post first off. Would a touch up job restore it to pre-loss condition?

$1000 is rediculous.
Play your legal cards and never tip your hand.
You may have been the end reason the paint peeled off, but you may have walked right into a no win situation unknowingly.
A set-up, perhaps.
That is not your legal fault.
The customer may ask for a $1000, but am sure they don't want to spend a fortune in legal fees.
It would be a small claims court issue if it went that far.
The more documentation and evidence you can provide on the nature of paint the better.
Proof of prior experience of this not happening in 500 jobs, and providing witnesses will support your case.
Offer nothing except for a full refund.
Take any hit this person provides in bad reviews and social media.
State your case professionally in any rebuttal in social media defending yourself.
Do the best you can.
It will not be a fast process, but at some point t will e over.
There is a statute of limitations on the customers end.

Jeff, put on your big boy pants and just do it.
You have received tons of opinions at this point. Yet, you continue to try your case in the court of internet opinion. Try it in real life and move on.

The customer may ask for a $1000, but am sure they don't want to spend a fortune in legal fees. If my offer is declined i will have no choice but to offer a full refund and probably a court battle. I think i am prepared for that alternative knowing what i know now.

Thank you for this. I have already offered to touch up the area via a professional touch up technician.
