You can use an etching primer. Then go for the base color coat.
Just make sure you let them sit for at least 72 hours to let them outgas and cure. then you should be fine to screw them in. Just don't go too crazy with rough-housing them.
Strip:
To strip paint for aluminum or steel you can use a paint stripper or wire brush. You can also do media blasting, but only if you plan to powdercoat afterwards, because it leaves small dings in the frame. To strip a carbon frame sand it by hand. For any frame type, you don't need to strip to the bare material, but can use the existing paint as a primer.
Prime:
I use Duplicolor Self Etching Primer, with good results. It was like $24 for a 6 pack when I got it, I don't know why it's so expensive now. You could try a different self etching primer, or look for Duplicolor for cheaper. Sand down after each coat, usually a grit of 400 - 600 is good or use a lower grit if it is not smooth.
To Paint:
For DIY paint jobs you can use rattle cans or an airbrush. Sand after each coat, again starting with around 400 - 600 grit. It's hard to give specific advice for paint because there are so many different ones, and all would probably do an okay job.
Clear:
It depends how much money you want to spend. Cheap rattle clears are not durable, but the more durable 2k spray clears are expensive and toxic. I've read that you can use an airbrush for 2 part clear, but have not tried it yet.
