I want to paint both of them red (bike is red mainly).

Has anyone painted their levers before?
Did you say
****er?
Anyhow, aluminum needs a self-etching primer to to adhere properly. Plus the usual scuff sanding, so you'd be committed to them being painted from now on.
Not overly difficult if you're half way decent with an automotive detail gun. Sounds like you are. Personally, from an esthetics POV, I'm not sure I would like flaming red ****ers.
