For your painting project to see good results you should apply a coat of primer/sealer to the stained trim boards before applying the paint. Commonly used stains are oil base. Common paints are water base. The two do not work together. So seal the stain with a water base sealer and when it dries you can apply any kind of paint to it you desire.
