I just bought one of those rollers because I was doing closets with supports that had been nailed on, this making it difficult to paint. The roller fits into those smaller spaces and really helped make a quick job of it. Thanks for the info.
Good morning Chris , Bob here ... ". the home " renoguy , Couple questions to you about bathrooms , ... when or actually , before you paint behind and around , do you make a point of any or extra cleaning around the toilet ( I speaking of , splatter or over spray , bad aim ) on the walls when a toilet is close to a wall ? Do you or have you ever had issues with paint adhering to the wall in these areas ? The other question is about hairspray . Did a job a number of years back that required painting a sort of small on-suite , and had a real problem with paint doing some weird things on one area of the walls . It was the part of the wall the was directly opposite the vanity mirror , anyway , long story short , we found out that the previous owner was a hair spray-oholic , and that the paint wasn't bonding to the wall because of all the over spray of hair spray used over ? years . The home owner had told us that she had washed/cleaned all the places that we were to paint , so we didn't need to , but I wonder if we had done the usual pre-wipe down , if we would have caught that , as in it would have shown up in some sort of fashion . Do you prep a bathroom any differently then any other room ? What cleaning product do you use ? I assume TSP , but sure would like to know if there's a secret magic formula > Oh , and on the few times that the toilet is too close to the wall for the roller , I use a trim pad/wall edger . You can't get all the way behind the toilet , but certainly enough that you can't see any of the old color with out pulling the toilet . Thanks for the video Bob from Calgary
Problem is, very often the mini roller will be too big to fit behind the water tank because it is too close to the wall. If you want to do a decent job, you'll have to resort to some DIY painting pads (usually used for cutting in straight lines - for which they don't work) which incidentally work great to solve problems like this. Great tip by the way! I use mini rollers for so many things it would be hard to imagine my daily routine without them.
Good video. Not sure why you chose s mohair. IMHO,I would go with a regular weenie cover or a microfiber if fine finish is required on walls.Also for new painters I would not recommend running two roller frames out of the same pot,you'll make a mess of your self.Cheers and Thanks!Matt in Portland Oregon.
Hey Chris! I have hardi plank. It was installed and painted ten years ago. However, I have a question if I should repaint with James hardi mason select bullet proof paint?!
I'm ignorant I guess. I've heard of Mohair all my life but didn't know where it came from. Never heard of a Mo animal. Haa. After looking it up, I discovered it comes from the Angora Goat. It's kind of like wool. Interesting. Good video!
Whats up Chris! I like you work! You produce real quality videos and if you get a microphone that capture only your voice it will be even better since you often work in empty spaces which make the sound echoing. Thanks for the Painter Life t-shirt by the way
@@stevengrosflam936 Well, as a professional painter, I don't care if nobody ever looks at it, it needs to be done correctly. That means not getting paint where it shouldn't be. Period.
He stated his reaches as far as he needs it to reach(for him) & that depending on how far you need it to reach it comes in different lengths. So basically, if you need it to reach the middle… buy a Longer roller.
I use a trim pad / wall edger . It won't get you all the way down/up behind the tank ( unless you tape on a paint stick or something ) , but it will get you far enough in behind the tank that you won't be able to see the old paint/color. The next option , of course , is to remove the toilet , or at least the tank .
No. I work in bathrooms every day so here's some solid advice. Don't assume it is just being a germophob. - First off - a toilet seat that has room behind the water tank to fit a paint roller is the rarest thing on Earth. - Second - wrap the fucking toilet seat in plastic before you do anything. Mask the surrounding walls and bath tub too because bodily fluids splash on them. Reason is - no matter what you do you will brush against all of them. Shit and piss is one thing. STD and infectious diseases are another. Knowing a guy that has an STD and used to work for deliver food with Uber keeps me paranoid. Better work practices as a result. - Third - wear disposable nitrile gloves (rubber gloves). For the same reason described above. Are you really going to work around someone's toilet and use the same gloves later? As a contractor - if a client presents me with a nasty toilet the result is always the same - I will either cut corners somewhere else or somehow charge them more. As a client - if you make the work of the contractor easier and cleaner and IF you have the right guy you will get the best result you can. Guaranteed.
i hate painting behind peoples toilets especially when its community toilet for all the work crews and smells like piss. Hold my breath, cut in real fast, roll that crap and go get baptized in fire.
Thanks for this. I thought I was going to remove the toilet. Saves me time and energy
Thank you so much! Best part was to realize I had the necessary tools already!
You are quite an experienced pro, you make life easier for us contractors who try to do the best they can when painting. Thanks Chris
Glad to help, thanks for watching!

What is the roller? Did you say "wingy nap?"

That's exactly how I do it Chris. Great video
Thank you!
You say toilet funny...great video...
Great idea!
Oh thank you
Looks like a trip to the hardware store and at least I know what to get. 😊
Thanks for watching!
Hey Chris!
I have hardi plank. It was installed and painted ten years ago. However, I have a question if I should repaint with James hardi mason select bullet proof paint?!
We would not recommend that
What if it doesn’t fit behind the toilet ? My toilet is 1/4 inch from the wall.
Use a bender bar from paintlifesupply.com
Thanks dude! I’m sure Home Depot had this right?
Awesome,,,thank you
im in the process of painting my whole house, i was wondering how the hell I was going to do this xD
Your videos are very helpful.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!

Which paint to use
That bathroom is as tiny as my 1/2 bath, except it has a tub. I bet the sink is to the right with a built-in vanity.
Yes
Thank you!
How do you keep from getting paint on the back of the tank? Or, how do you get it off of the tank after you've painted it?
Thank you.
Who is going to look at the back of your Toilet
@@stevengrosflam936 Well, as a professional painter, I don't care if nobody ever looks at it, it needs to be done correctly. That means not getting paint where it shouldn't be. Period.
@@coolskytony Well excuse me Its not like you found the cure for Cancer
Pull a large plastic trash bag over the toilet tank and cinch it in the front before painting.
Also remove the tank lid before pulling the bag over it.
Thank you.
Great video. Thanks for the info. I've seen you before and like your work. You now have a new subscriber, and from Idaho too! Emmett. God bless
you are the Jeff Caveliere of painting
lol
he is very generous on work out tips an you are very generous on your painting knowledge thank you so much my friend
Thank you!!!
What if the toilet tank is against the wall and there is no crack behind the toilet and the wall?
Then you do not have to paint it
Home Improvement How To's that makes sense
Remove the tank. It's very simple and quickly done
Hi
And like GI Joe used to say- ....and now you know, and KNOWING is half the battle! Thanks:-)!!!
You are welcome!
Do u take off all the hardwear
I want to meet you one day you're my idol I love the Bible verses on you're video as well
lol, maybe one day! Thanks for watching & supporting!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks for working!
You failed to show us your results. We want to see that you got fully behind and did not miss a spot in the middle.
He stated his reaches as far as he needs it to reach(for him) & that depending on how far you need it to reach it comes in different lengths. So basically, if you need it to reach the middle… buy a Longer roller.
What if the toilet is closer to the wall than the width of the roller 😂
just dump the paint on top and let it run down
V.Vega 😂I'll try that when I'm rich and can afford to buy my client a new toilet 🚽😂😂
I think you might need a smaller roller then
I use a trim pad / wall edger . It won't get you all the way down/up behind the tank ( unless you tape on a paint stick or something ) , but it will get you far enough in behind the tank that you won't be able to see the old paint/color.
The next option , of course , is to remove the toilet , or at least the tank .
All these years I’ve taken the tank off. 😡 Great videos. Keep up the great work.
i hate painting behind the toilet most times people dont clean before u paint....
Lol, yeah that's gross
why does the loo even have a space behind it :/
lukie heathy ...to give the bowl flex so it doesn't break and provide clearance for the lid...
never seen this in the uk
I know right? Stupid design, btw isn't the loo in France? jk :)
lol, yeah it shouldn't
I absolutely hate painting bathrooms, some customers are so unhygienic
No.
