Opaque would be solid colors, Semi Tranparent would have less pigment and is thinner and not cover like an opaque. Transparent is even thinner than the Semi Transparent, great for blending as are the Semi Transparents, I hope this is of some help. By the way, you'll like the GK USA paint line, good stuff!

I have a set of Freak Flex also, use it with their 16-600 Extender and it shoots fine, without it, it just gags up my airbrush...

No one else sells them. If you were trying to pay with PayPal that was probably the problem. I remember that they stopped taking PayPal payments a while back because of some issues. Also, the site is being completely rebuilt so that could be causing some temporary problems.
