There are many good quality liquid/spray strippers out there,
although some may cause embrittlement in aluminum, and aluminum alloys.
Be sure to read the label to make sure that it is compatible with that type of metal.
Perhaps for some thing like a bike frame, a less messy way would be to wet sand the paint off with 400 grit wet dry paper.
Add three or four drops of dish washing liquid to a 5 gallon bucket of water.
The preferred primer for aluminum is Zinc Chromate, although it often comes in a baby puke yellowish to puke fern green color.
Check with your local auto body supply house for other colors of primer available in spray bomb form that have aluminum listed on the label.
As for paint there is a myriad of products available in the world these days.
Once you have it prepped you may want to check with a local body shop to see if the next time they are spraying a color that you like they could spray the frame at the same time.
