    Is there a way in photoshop to set up your layers so if you had RED painted in 1 layer and YELLOW in another if the layers overlap each other you would see ORANGE and so on..

    1 way i found was to lower the oppacity of the layers, But the colour i'm painting you car barely see

    Is there any other way ?

    I've attached an image

    I think you need to change the blending mode of the layers. Have a read of this:

    You could use colour channels in either RGB mode of CMYK mode.

    You then paint white onto a black bacground onto each channel to get the desired result.

    Paint is different to light, Photoshop uses various colour spaces such as rgb, cmyk, LAB to emu;ate colour in various bit depths.
