If I am not oversimplifying the question....water based opaque paint is just a latex or acrylic paint or enamel.

If it is in reference to art work, it might be similar paint, but not "watercolor". Hope this helps!

What is the difference between watercolour and gouache paints?
Gouache can be used on canvas or paper, although I would say most artists use it on paper.

This is not entirely accurate, however, because highly-diluted gouache paints are translucent as well.

Can you paint metal with watercolor?
No! It would just flake off like chalk after drying! Gouache is a watercolor-like paint made with gum arabic and chalk (which makes the color opaque, i.e. you cannot see through the color). When dry, it has a unique, velvety texture and rich, deep color. Years after a gouache painting has dried, it can still be blended and re-worked with a wet brush. It was the standard medium in fashion illustration and popular with illustrators until the introduction of commercial design markers. Use it on illustration board!
