Mix paint is an essential skill of the following occupations:

Furniture finisher: Furniture finishers treat the surface of wood furniture using hand and power tools to sand, clean and polish. They apply wood coatings onto wooden surfaces by using different techniques such as brushing or using a spray gun. They choose and apply the right coatings with protective and/or decorative purposes.

Mix paint is optional for these occupations. This means knowing this skill may be an asset for career advancement if you are in one of these occupations.
