I am going to refresh our small powder room (6'L x 3'W) (new vanity, sink, faucet, lighting, & paint). The toilet is about 3/4 to 1 inch from the wall and will be difficult (probably impossible) to get behind to paint the wall. Is it safe to assume I need to shut off the water and disconnect the tank from the bowl before I paint? I can't seem to figure out any other way to paint the wall behind the tank without disconnecting it.
Sorry if this is an obvious question - I just want to make sure I'm doing it right the first time.
You can do one of two things. Remove the lid and paint as far back as you can with a brush. Now stand back and see if you can see any unpainted surface. Odds are that is the way it was painted originally.
Second option is a wizzie/cigar roller. That will usually get back behind there.

Thanks for the reply. I did look behind the tank and whoever did the last paint job definitely just removed the lid and painted behind it -- they actually did a terrible job getting behind it and I still couldn't tell until I got right up to it. That is definitely how I will do it. Thanks again
