Options for repairing and refinishing a pitted driveway with a 12 degree slope?

My driveway needs a makeover as has some cracks and pitting.  
There is a fair amount on information on how to repair the pits and cracking on line (although any advice is more than welcome), my main concern is the final presentation.  It is currently painted and so was planning to repaint, however checking with the team at Bunnings today they have advised that painting is only recommended for slopes up to 7 deg due to slipping risk and mine is 12 deg. 
Any advice on best options?

Hello @HendoP 

 

When I mentioned having the surface professionally finished, I was referring to getting a concrete specialist running a surface finishing machine that will technically level the surface of the concrete but not polish it. This will also have the effect of stripping the surface of any paint that is currently on it now. 

 

I'm sorry but I am currently not familiar with coloured concrete sealant. I'm more familiar with the Crommelin sealing products which the majority of have a clear finish.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
