Can't you paint with opaque layer, 90% gray instead of semitransparent layer and black?

EDIT: what I meant is that instead of using a black brush with 90% opacity, use 90% gray brush (following your comment I understand that the opacity is applied to the brush rather than the layer, but the same advice holds here). With the black brush, multiple strokes on the same place essentially change the color (90% x 90% etc.). With the opaque gray brush, the subsequent stroke is not additive, but rather replaces the previous color, but in this case the new color is the same as the old one so you end up with the pixels unchanged.
