I had my driveway painted at our first retirement home. We sold it and moved to The Villages. Maybe there is something new but I can tell you that the "old" way it was done (even sealing it every year or two) it faded out. This hot Florida sun will fade most anything and everything after a few years. Your roof that may be 25 year shingles will last about half that----if your lucky. Personally, I pass on a decorative driveway. Anything under roof where it doesn't get the direct sun is okay if that is your preference.
