Please what are you saying? In our area of town unpainted driveways are not normally sealed. So did you paint over an existing painted driveway? And what period of time did you paint (re-paint) ? How long after you painted/re-painted did the peeling etc begin? If you have a mind would you tell us who this contractor is?.

Perhaps a contractor can grind down the existing painted concrete drive and repaint it. I would get the price difference to try and repair your driveway and the price to tear it up and lay down a new concrete driveway. Keep in mind even if you find a way to repaint you may not be pleased with the result. I mean any contractor is going to be faced with some natural limitations

As a sidebar many of my neighbors have paved driveways and none escape problems with them

Best of luck to you
