Default glazing putty over primer or paint?

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


Glass needs to be bedded in putty after priming the groove. Finish
painting after putty has skinned over in a few weeks,

Thanks Joe.

Nate, I see that what I wrote is a bit confusing.

I have the whole window primed with oil-based primer now. The finish
coat will be a latex. I know I need to wait before painting the
putty, but what I was looking for was whether to bed the glass on top
of the primer, or to paint over the primer with the top coat before
bedding the glass.

The rest of the window will get painted asap so I can hang it back
up. I presume the putty can be outside while it cures?
