Hi Dana,
If the veneer is in good condition you can paint right over it with chalk paint, but will have to protect with a clear or antique wax when happy with the colour.
You mentioned it is covered but didn't say with what. If it's in good shape you can paint it. Clean thoroughly then either chalk paint or prime and paint.
Use a good stain blocking primer let dry for a few days to cure. then paint whatever color you want with either a spray painter or a good mohair roller or a purdy brush.
