Good Luck with the guy. I will say again that 2 weeks was a ridiculous time line to begin with, if anyone believed they could get any kind of paint job in that time frame then as Gomer would say "shame on you".
If you as opposed to your grandson has more disposable time, you should stop by the place on a daily, 3 times a week or at the least weekly basis and check on progress. Bring a cup of coffee to the guy or just chat about the weather for a minute. That may light a bit of a fire under him. If you see nothing happening then it may be time to get the car out of there.
Now that its in primer I would go over the entire car with him in detail, identifying any area that may need special attention. Put in WRITING what the final bill will be. That way when all is said and done your grandson doesnt get a bill for a concours paint job when he was expecting cruise night.
Which brings up the last point. Any professional should strive to do their best work. Asking someone to cut corners and do inferior work is a recipe for disaster.
