repaint concrete drive

Just moved into a house and the driveway needs a little love, must have been the original paint from 7 yrs ago. What do I need to do to prep the surface, would a sand and spot prime be the way forward or does all the pant need to come off? I have pressure washed it and that removed some  paint but to take the rest off would be a 1cm away job for the whole drive. 

I have used an angle grinder with wire attachment to remove some paint and test how porous the surface is, where it’s painted the water doesn’t soak in at all, where it’s now bare it’s a very slow soak. Any advice would be great as I don’t want to paint the thing only for the paint to lift when I park the car on it.
