English translation:Water based paint
Explanation:
Water based paint is the trade term for any paint that has a water base, opposed to oil based paint. unfortunately water paint is too easily confused with watercolour paint which this is not and wet paint is just any type of paint that is wet.

translation roughly the surface is given a second coat with a water based paint recommended by the supplier...

liquid paint


Explanation:
Wet paint, usually the term used as a warning that a newly painted surface is not dry. However, Viachaslau is probably right to some extent. There is even a video available on the Internet with the song "Wet Paint".
