A paint mixer already meets 29% of what the marine painter role asks for. The move turns on 18 required skills not yet in the profile.
29%
72.4/ 100
1 Share of the marine painter role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the paint mixer profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.
Why this move works
A marine painter role treats 8 of its required skills as things a paint mixer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- check paint consistency
- industrial paint
- inspect paint quality
- lacquer paint applications
- prepare paint ingredients
- remove paint
What stands in the way is 18 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 8 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A marine painter role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a paint mixer background worth leading with.
- already held prepare paint ingredients handling and moving
- already held check paint consistency information skills
- already held inspect paint quality information skills
- already held lacquer paint applications engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held use color matching techniques communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held industrial paint engineering, manufacturing and construction
All 8 carried skills, including the 8 the marine painter role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 23 missing skills fall into 9 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

3 further areas in the appendix
Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a marine painter role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 apply primer skill · occupation specific
- 02 operate maritime lifting equipment skill · occupation specific
- 03 apply colour coats skill · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

4 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
