    You could try repairing the cracks: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-ykTRshSlwU You could use cement stain on the driveway. Not sure how the stain will take to the part that you repaired.

    I’ve a lot of experience with concrete stain/dye.

    Yes, after you fill in the cracks, that product should accept the stain.

    I would stipple the finish, like marble or granite & use two similar colors. Yes, you can make plastic stencils & mist/spray the stain onto the stencil. You can hand paint veins, like marble. You can rag roll it.

    Best of all, it never peels!

    You could patch all cracks with cement patch from Home Depot then paint it all one color

    There’s a reason your driveway cracked. The recommendations above are all temporary. You need to answer some questions before proceeding; was the concrete mix well done?, how heavy a vehicle are you parking on it?, what’s the condition under your driveway.?, clay, sand, gravel, topsoil?

    The old saying is still applicable here, “you can dress up a pig, but it’s still a pig” , holds true.

    I would get to the bottom of why it cracked in the first place.
