Flooring during cabinet painting, which comes first, painting or flooring?
If your remodel also includes laying new floors, most experts agree that it's better to install kitchen flooring before cabinets.
VERY IMPORTANT
If the flooring is done before cabinet painting, make sure whoever is doing the flooring is to hold off on applying any non-paintable silicone where the paint will be applied.
Paint doesn't stick to silicone!

We mention this because flooring contractors will often run a bead of semi-transparent non-paintable silicon that you can't normally see unless you are down on your knees. Unfortunately, (no disrespect intended) flooring contractors smear their silicon where you wouldn't think it matters, but it does!
Once silicon is on the cabinets it becomes impossible to paint over so it has to be scraped off.
