Carpeting and Painting

Should I paint first or install new carpeting first?
I've gotten different opinions from salespeople, but would like advice from experienced people who actually know what they're talking about (and who aren't trying to sell me anything!)

LazyPup is on a distinguished road
pull up the old carpet and padding first, then paint, then install the new carpet.

floorman is an unknown quantity at this point
Go ahead and paint but keep in mind that you will have to do some touch up after the carpet goes in.You have a piece of rug that is bigger than the room so the odds are that you will mar up some walls and base,even the best of them can't keep that from happening[8D]
