Doors : decorate before fit ?

[ToughButterCup]

For internal doors,   decorate before fit or after?

 

Asking for a friend you understand ...

We fitted them, removed them, painted, rehung. Easy.

First fit of door? Do it off the hinges

Second and subsequent time? slide a dust sheet underneath and just get on with it

Primer or sanding sealer before fitting (stops greasy hand prints soaking in), check all gaps and ironmongery, remove and finish then re-hang

Thanks

We did ours after fitting.  But they were just being oiled.  I suspect painting might be better laid flat?
