I am planning to install all my roof trim before my metal Ag Panel roof so I can paint the trim quickly without masking. I have a gambrel roof decked with OSB + underlayment and plan to put 1x4 purlins on top of the deck to give a nice airspace and extra meat for the screws to bite into. When I install my rake trim, should the top of the trim be nailed flush with the top of the roof deck or should I raise it up to be flush with the top of the purlins once they are installed (I will trim the rake ends with either drip edge)?

Thanks.

Not really going to matter if you use the standard rake and corner. It's very wide, like 5"
