How much time do you want to spend? If you're considering spending time sanding it...why use a a rattle can? Might as well just do it right...clean, sand, sand some more, and use real paint with a paint gun.

If not...just clean and put 2-4 coats on it.

You're an idiot for suggesting he use real materials to make his work actually worth the effort! Gosh! He should just keep building that castle on top of the swamp!

"When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Lad, the strongest castle in all of England. "
