Yes. Make sure you strip all clear finish off down to bare wood and stain. You can re-stain with same or darker color tone, but can't go lighter in tone. In order to go lighter you have to plane the wood down past the stain penetrating layer. good luck with your project.

Do you need to paint fiberglass door?

Fiberglass is dangerous. You have to have a confined set-up to work with it and spray it in a waterfall booth. This is so that the water catches the fibers in a drain and doesn't release them to the environment You can either paint it or woodgrain it. If you want to paint it, just prime it and paint it like it was a steel door. Woodgraining the door requires gel stain and a graining tool. The Zar brand does a lot of advertising on HGTV (well, at least they did) to claim it has the only system to use to woodgrain a fiberglass or steel entry door, but there are several gel stain systems out there and all of them work.

What primer do you use to paint over a brown stained door?

depends on what color you are painting it ... generally you would want to paint it white... i would go with a clear coat of primer first and then some white.... then two to three coats of white paint. Any good quality oil or shellac based primer will do, however it is best to give the door a good sanding first.

If you have solid wood doors, first strip your door down to the bare wood. Next sand your door with 120-150 grit sand paper with the grain of the wood.

Can you stain a white door?

If the door has a primer or a paint on it then no. Stain needs open grain to work. Stain seeps into the pores of the wood. If there is a coating, i.e. the primer or paint, then the stain will have nowhere to go. It will just sit on top of the coating until it is wiped off or dries in ugly blotches.
