Yes, but with any wood surface that you stain you must have a clean surface. If you have removed all the old paint and you are down to bare wood then you probably should brush on Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner, Minwax runs about 10-11 bucks a quart. If ANY paint or primer is left on wood you will get spots that will only show up after you stain so make sure it is clean and bare.

No. I don't know what type of stain your using, but most stains allow the wood grain to remain visible. This means that you'll have to completely strip all of the paint before staining.
