Client requesting a epoxy coating for a driveway, its old concrete with what looks like remains of old paint which has worn away. Looking for a strong coating to deal with it that will last?

An epoxy outside? I wouldnt'. If it has to be given a coating I'd go with a polyspartic urethane.

I got a call today about a stamped colored concrete driveway.
We are in snow and ice country.
Can the polyspartic urethane handle that?
Is there any type of sealer that can handle the salt without killing the HO by being real slippery?
Usually we do walkways and patios with this stuff so..... hmmm.

Acrylic Concrete Stain.....should be fine and not slippery...Epoxies dont hold up outside so dont use it.

Polyaspartic would handle that. If you want to add non slip you can combine it with a small particle aggregate and roll it out.
