Surecrete makes a semi-transparent water-based concrete stain that can be applied with a hand held sprayer. Colors can be mixed or overlaid one over another. The surface must readily absorb water. Use Surecrete's Concrete Cleaner to remove oil, algae and safely etch the driveway surface before staining. https://www.surecretedesign.com/product/water-based-concrete-stain/ There are other similar water-based stains: https://www.concretenetwork.com/products-stains/water-based.htm l
Do not do it! Might look good when you first do it, but it will start to fade and chip and you will regret it. Just my own opinion from experience.
best i can guess, maybe epoxy based paint? take a picture then try your local paint stores....not the big box stores, i'm sure "billy bob" won't have much of a clue..,if not them, ck out a concrete contractor for expert advice...don't forget...take REALLY good pics and up close too....,i wish you good luck! just try not to get suckered in to something that will require a long term maintenace commitment!
Cheers!

Hello Jmilano, hope this helps you out.
