Is it better to paint first and then caulk when installing new counter tops? Thanks in advance.

We painted first then installed the counter tops. We waited several weeks to caulk in order to let the counter tops settle. Good luck!

My husband is master carpenter. He said to caulk first, then paint.

I would paint first. I like saving myself headaches and time.

I've always painted first, installed my counter tops then used an exterior grade caulk that dries clear. If the old counters are already off and the new not yet installed, it always make the painting easier go much faster.

Paint, install counters, caulk, and then paint/touch up.
