I'd let him do it. I just painted a jeep for the first time last weekend, silver (basecoat/clearcoat) and spraying the paint is the easy part. If he can get the prep work done, then he should be able to handle a gun.
It took me a month to prep and just 1 day to spray. I don't know what paint your going to use, but I used the Sherwin Williams automotive, and it was some good stuff. I have 0 experience spraying cars and this stuff laid down beautifully. And it was only about $200 for everything, 1 gallon 2k primer, 3quarts base, and 1 gallon clear.
