Default Painted Driveway Sealing

I'm in a Courtyard Villa that had a painted driveway with the dots on it. I clean it myself with my small electric pressure washer.

I have a sprayer and I'd like to "seal" it. Does anyone know the right type of sealant to use?

Go to Sherman Williams and get advice from a pro.

OP, your problem here is that you do not know the type of paint used. We have a painted driveway (Sherwin Williams xylene based) and the original installer has stopped resealing these due to problems with the sealers getting cloudy. So while I agree with the previous comment, you need to test an inconspicuous area. Also, very important, add shark grip or equal friction additive or you may end up with a very slippery surface when you are done.
