I think it really depends on the spray paint and the type of knob (what is the knob made of and what finish are you going for?).

Also, dry time is really important.

i've never done it before but i don't think it would hurt to try. if it doesn't work you're not out much time and $$, you know?

Can't you always just spray clear laquer over it?

This lady's has held up two years.

She recs Rustoleum, which sounds like it's something made for robots.

if you let it cure appropriately and follow the directions i think it would be fine.

we used it to cheaply make our downstairs stuff all oil rubbed bronze and it's been almost 2 years with no chips

It wouldn't hurt to try. If it ends up crappy, go out by the knobs you love at a later date.

I spray painted the shiny brass knobs for my kitchen cabinets hammered silver 3 years ago. 

The paint is starting to wear off on the knobs for the cabinets we use most so I will be respraying a few knobs this summer.

I cleaned them well using a degreaser (since they were in the kitchen), let them dry, scuffed them lightly with a rough sanding block and cleaned them again with soap and water and then let them dry for a day.  Sprayed them with 3 light coats,  letting it dry for at least 24 hours in between and then waited 48 hours before installing them on the cabinets.  I used Rustoleum spray paint.

I think you could do it, but you might be surprised how cheaply you could just replace them. I bought new hardware for our kitchen and we had a LOT of cabinets. I bought a pretty nice brand and did the oil-rubbed bronze which tends to be more expensive, and it was all less than $500. I could have done it for less than that if I had spent more time sourcing them and looking for deals.

There's spray paint made for that purpose that I've seen used on doorknobs, but also look into just replacing them- I know Home Depot sells 10-packs of hardware (both knobs and handles) in pretty much every finish for $20-25.
