Default Cut before or after painting?

I haven't done a body since I was a kid and back then the tamiya stuff came pre-cut. Do you guys cut first and then paint? or paint it up and then cut? I've seen it both ways so just wondering which approach is better. I have a proline H2 body for maxx.

Also - for a protective finish can I use a clear enamel (Krylon) to spray over tamiya and pactra paint, or should I use something else? Or is this just overkill?
