How high quality a finish do you want?
If it's the typical forum level of ATD then there is a good chance you'll be disappointed.
I would probably get Simonez tough black, as it's tough and if used correctly I think you should be able to get a clean spray.
Other considerations:
- a dedicated dust free space that isn't cold to do the application.
- how to open the doors for the 3 days or so the handles are being sprayed and curing.
- a dedicated dust free space that isn't cold to do the application.

find handles that fit the existing screw holes
Have you at least checked if the company that made the existing handles produces a version in the colour you want?
I would have thought handle screw spacing would be fairly standardized.
Repainting sounds like more hassle than it's worth. Personally I would prefer stuff like this to be in a colour that is either self-finish material or at least something that develops a nice patina as it wears. I don't think a DIY repaint will achieve this.

Want to make the handles in my kitchen cupboards and drawers black instead of silver. Figure it's easier to just remove the existing ones, spray paint them all black and put them back on, rather than find handles that fit the existing screw holes.. am I being stupid?
Also what sort of matte black spray paint will I need which will go on what appears to be a brushed metal - never spray painted before; will I need to sand the surface?
