Generally an Architect would be responsible for determining how an area is rated, including whether a sprinkler system is required. I would go back to the owner and tell him to have the architect review the intumescent paint and determine if it creates an adequate fire resistance for the space to be considered as "non-combustible". Then send the architect's report to the AHJ. In similar types of circumstances I have always gone back to the owner or consultant team and always put my position to them as "I deal with sprinkler systems not fire ratings" it's up to someone else to determine If and where we are putting a sprinkler system in place.
