12 months is a long time for an issue to crop up. If it had been a poor respray job, it should surely have happened after a few weeks, not a year. The headlight full of condensation could be as a result of someone not replacing the covers properly when changing a bulb. Speak to your Insurance company, but after 12 months I'm not sure how much luck you will have.

Check out the Motors or Consumer Issues forums.
12 months isn't all that long time imo but I'm not a car paint pro.
Do you have a receipt for the work? Does it state anything about warranty?
