If this is the first covering job that he is attempting I would suggest keep it simple. Stick with iron on plastic covering and peel and stick graphics. It is easiest to apply and easiest to repair with a higher probability of actually making it to the flight line.
If using an iron on covering then Monokote makes it simple, you can cover the entire airframe in one color then apply all the trim colors using Windex and a squeegee, apply, squeegee the excess Windex out and allow to dry out for several days.
Now come back and pass the iron over the entire surface using a sock on the iron and your done, no bubbles, no issues. I cover with Monokote and trim with Monokote as I just explained.
