My aunt Ihad her cabinets refinished a few years ago with Rustoleum Cabinet Transformation kits. It looks great and has held up well. You would have to sand and prep your cabinets. https://www.rustoleum.com/product-catalog/consumer-brands/transformations/cabinet-transformations-dark-kit
You can stain over stain with gel stain. You can go darker but not lighter.
