Definitely can't afford a concrete driveway, lol.

Repaint? I've never painted asphalt, just put on the 10 year sealer. Is that what you mean?
IT will crack. check out an asphalt patch in the road or parking lot, you won't have the traffic a public area has, but eventually the patch will shrink and you will have the seam show.

Sealer! LOL, that's it! IF you keep sealing the seam you won't have that problem. If you leave it alone it will grow grass and weeds.


Also, what is your weather like? If you have snow and cold weather any water that seeps into the seam will freeze and melt, making the seam bigger!
