Neighbor complaining about contractor spray paint on his car

I had my rental property painted. The contractor asked the neighbor to move his car before he started work. The neighbor who is renting the house next door did move it across the street and two houses down from the property (about 200 ft away). At the end of the day he sent a message to his landlord being angry that spray paint went on his car. His landlord contacted me and I asked my contractor to take care of the situation. My contactor is licensed bonded and insured and he called the neighbor offering to cover the cost of exterior detailing of his car. In the meantime the neighbor got my phone number from his landlord and texted me about the spray paint on his car to which I responded that my contractor is responsible and will remedy the situation. A week later the neighbor came to me again with a bill of $1075 for detailing telling mr he doesn't know who is paying but he wants the money this week! An absurd amount. He never contacted the contractor to discuss estimates. I told the contractor who has accepted responsibility and said he will not pay such an absurd amount and that he will talk to the neighbor. I am staying out of this, my contractor accepted responsibility but the neighbor keeps bothering me. What to do? Thank you
