You bet! You can oil paint (brush or spray) or gel stain. If you gel stain you will need to seal with a polyurethane. If the aluminum is new it will need to be etched so that the paint will adhere. Have fun.
It peels off really fast - not worth cost & time.
Personally aluminum...no

They don't look very good. If you want them to shine, run them with alcohol

Cannot be stained. You can spray paint them with Rust -Oleum or Krylon spray paint made for metal. Lightly sand smooth.
Vinegar will stain aluminum. Almost black.
