Please be aware that in general you cannot repaint a driveway, you may need to have whatever coating was previously applied removed by grinding or sandblasting. So back to my first comment, did you contact whomever applied to paint? You need to be careful, different coatings are cleaned differently. If you "paint" was similar to what was used on my lanai, I am just finding out the hard way that high pressure cleaning is not suitable.

Let us all know how you make out.
