Painted Driveway Sealers-Do It Yourself

Thinking of sealing my 7 yr old painted driveway but don't want it to be glossy or shine. Any suggestions out there?

....just that you may wish to invest in an additive for UV Absorbtion, to your sealer.
..........( a Light STABILIZER ).

Many painters cheap out and do not add the Ultraviolet Stabilizers to their
Coatings.
......Adding the UV stabilizers prevents sun fade on the painted stucco homes and the painted driveways....or whatever.

Tried to hire a "reputable painter" a while back......... when we asked what type of UV Stailizer they would use ........ the answer was .........."HUH ????"
.... so we got a REAL "pro-painter" for the job. They did NOT answer = "HUH".

What is that saying again ? ..Oh Yeah...."YA GETS WHAT YA PAYS FOR"...

I've not used this, but it had a good online review.

Let me know if you find/use a low gloss/matte finish, I'd like to do the same.
