Painting banister from white to look like dark wood

Back many years ago I painted all my old dark/walnut color moulding white, a big chore, but never regreted it. However, I wish I had not painted the banister white, just the spindles. What can I do about the white banister? Is there a way to paint just that a dark brown color to give the appearance of wood and leave the spindles white? I like the darker wood tones, not oak color. Is there any kind of special effects paint out there that will give it the right look so that it doesn't just look like dark brown paint. I can't imagine trying to get the paint off the banister or would that job be easier than I think?
