Depends on the case and it depends how nice you want the finish to be.

 

I sprayed an old beige server tower satin black, just sanded a bit, taped and sprayed. Looks pretty good if you don't look too close but there are a couple runs.

 

If you want to do a perfect job, it's a pretty involved process. 

 

Disassembly, sanding, cleaning, priming, sanding again, painting.
