What about the garage being the same to match or will it just get ruined? Thanks!
Be careful with "paint", it must be rated for use on concrete and it must be rated for outdoor use. If this is going to be a DIY you will need to very carefully clean the driveway, and power washing may not be sufficient, especially if you have oil or similar stains.

Finally, we had ours 'painted' as did several of the neighbors around 10 years ago. Jay uses a Xylene bases stain (looks like paint) but lasts a long time. Ours is 10 years old and still looks very good, and NO sealing.

You can reach him by calling Home Services Inc, Driveways by Jay, 877-713-2902.

He did our driveway, then managed to match the colors and pattern a few years later when we enlarged the driveway, he also did the birdcage and lanai. We are very happy with his work.
