I'm rehabbing a window. I stripped it down and painted the whole sash
with an oil-based primer. I will be painting with an acrylic latex.
Should I install the window over the primer, and then top coat after,
or should I put the latex on first and then install the glass?

The only part of the window where this matters is the recess for the
glass and glazing putty.

thanks

I believe that you are supposed to paint over the glazing putty after
the job is complete. If you want to give the window extra protection by
all means paint the recess for the glass before you assemble it, but it
still should get a coat of paint after you're done.
