Info needed Re Driveway Paint

Dionysius2

I'm going to tackle a paint job (long overdue) on my driveway. It's been 7 years sine it was concreted and imprinted and the original black glossy finish is now a dull grey. Who stocks this kind of paint or bitumen or whatever it is called ? What tools do I need to do the job ? A roller presumably and some special kind of brushes ? Anyone able to offer some suggestions
I will clean it down first via a good scrubbing......what are the next steps ?
My thanks in advance.

Could you use either of those products above to repaint/seal a set of paved concrete porch steps that were painted with thompsons black driveway seal.

The black steps are starting to look a bit faded now.:(

Thanks.:)

It should work but i think what ever you put on concrete slabs will need re doing often.
If it was me i'd use masonry paint and add this for strength http://www.igoe.ie/eb-mix-in-bonding-primer
