How can I hide a part of an object in texture paint mode?

Im painting a mushroom working on the stem but the cap is in the way, how can I hide the cap of the object?

Use the mask modifier for that.

How to restrict a part of an object getting painted while texturing in blender

EDIT: Posted at the same time. I think either way might work. The above method does not require a modifier.

Sorry thats not what im after.

I need to see the stem of the mushroom. The cap of it is covering the upper part of the mushroom stem which makes it difficult to paint as I need to tilt the camera to see under. Its like trying to paint armpit hair while in A pose. (Best example I can think of)

4 repeated posts worth…lol

I think I got the hint… lol

It was my misunderstanding of that feature. I had it backwards

I assumed you could hide those faces and paint. Sorry. Yeah use the mask modifier.

Yeah sorry about that, was having trouble posting and this mess happened. I have already reported my duplicates to a mod.

No worries Ok i’ll give the mask modifier ago.
