How to paint behind a toilet. Paint Behind A TV.

What happens here

Before painting, ensure the surrounding floor is protected from paint drips by applying masking tape. Carefully remove the lid of the toilet tank to provide clear access to the wall area behind it. The key tool for this specific job is a 'weenie' mini roller, which consists of a narrow roller nap (sleeve) on a wire frame, allowing it to fit into confined spaces. This roller can also come in different lengths for varying reach requirements. The specific roller shown features a mohair nap, known for a smooth finish.

Goal: Begin by masking the floor around the toilet to prevent paint drips and remove the toilet tank lid to expose the back wall. The main tool for this task, a 'weenie' mini roller with a wire frame, is introduced, designed for reaching tight spaces.

So, I'm going to show you the simple process and the simple tool you need to paint behind this thing. And first off, we got it masked out here so we don't get any drips on the floor. I'm just going to remove the top of the toilet right here. And that exposes the back of it. And all you got to do is have what we call a wing nap and a wire roller. This thing is a small skinny roller. and it fits behind the toilet and you can get them in different lengths if you have to reach a long excessive amount of distance. But this right here, this is the size that will reach behind this toilet. All I use is
