What do I paint first? (Pic as example)

[DeeEyeWhyBecauseIGotta]

I have a bannister similar to this. I’ve sanded it all and now want to paint. What do I paint first? The white eggshell or the wood stain/varnish?

The white, because you'll be able to remove paint splashes from the bare wood more easily than from stained.

Agree with above. White first.
