Question for acrylic painters [View all]

Can anyone recommend a yellow paint that has good coverage? I have several tubes of yellow paint. And they all tend to be watery. I usually have to mix in a bit of white, and even then, have to give it several coats. I have tried Liquitex, Golden, W&N and a couple others. Is there one out there with better coverage or is that just the nature of yellow acrylic paint?
