We inherited a dado rail in our lounge and SWMBO likes the idea of
painting it in a colour to contrast the walls. However it is currently
stained a mid mahogany is this feasible ?

What would be the preparation rub down with wire wool, under coat and
top coat or is there some other method?

Thanks for any tips

I don't know what the preferred method is but I've always just glossed over
stained wood with just one coat of normal gloss with no problems.
