Yes, you can stain wood that has primer on it, but the results may not be ideal. The primer creates a barrier that can prevent the stain from penetrating the wood evenly, leading to a blotchy appearance. To achieve better results, it's recommended to sand the primed surface lightly to promote adhesion, or to use a specific stain designed for use over primer. However, for the best finish, it's usually best to stain raw, untreated 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.

Can you put oil based primer over external polyurethane lacquer on doors?
Absolutly! You just have to check to see if the primer is first an exterior primer and if it will stick to glossy surfaces. You can lightly sand to rough up the surface or just clean the surface and apply the primer. For oil based primers I would recommend Beauti-tone's fast dry oil primer or Zinsser's oil based cover stain primer.
