Yes, and it is a substantial move. A transport equipment painter already covers 42% of what a furniture finisher is expected to do: 15 skills carry over, 9 of which the furniture finisher role treats as required.

7 required skills are missing, plus 23 optional ones. They fall into 8 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by handling and moving. The single most important is apply wood finishes.

Its learning distance is 59.8 out of 100, which is the substantial band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.
