Paint first, or install linoleum floor before painting?

Flooring always goes down last in any remodel. You don't want any paint or any damage to the new flooring. There are always some kind of OOPS happening.

Paint First. Give it time to cue, before putting down lino..........

I work from top down. Paint first.

i agree with the two answers above. 8^)

always... paint first..... then any dropped bits will not hit the new floor.....

I'm a painter and prefer to paint ceilings and walls first and am always willing to come back and do touch ups. Best of luck.

It is easier to paint first, then you do not have to worry about drips, etc on your brand new floor.
