Need a material to stick to paver stones

[gabagoo]

Have a customer who needs to have a decal made that can go on a paver stone for the purpose of indicating where an electrical box is located beneath. the stones will get walked on and they decal will be 3" x 3" . It snows up here so would be also susceptible to snow shoveling. Any suggestions on a material and laminate?

We've used 3m IJ-8624 with good success on similar projects, but realize it will likely need replaced every few years...depending on wear and tear.

asphalt art from jessup or street traxx by mactac are solid no lam candidates if youre so inclined

Tell them to find an engraver/sandblaster to take care of the project.

This looks like the way to go.... do you use a laminate on it?

no laminate. it was uv printed (hp fb950) on alumagraphics grip.

OK thanks guys That alumi graphics seem to be the way to go

Hey...that's just what I was thinking...100% permanent and legible even when the paint is long gone.

I'm a fan of Alumigraphics, but only when it's used for it's intended purpose. Promotional graphics.

Like said, having it blasted would be the way to go.

I'd make a paint mask and paint it before I'd use a printed graphic.

You want something to stick to pavers, chewing gum!

In addition to the Alumigraphics, there is another product which is probably the same thing, Panorama Walk & Wall http://www.cgxusa.com/products/panorama-walk-wall-2/
Actually I'd be curious to know if anyone has compared the two...cost would probably be a first consideration...the Walk & Wall seems to be about $1.45 per square foot

Walk & Walk in even more temporary than Alumigraphics. It'll last at most 2-3 months outdoors. It's got a good bond, but it's not as conformable. It's really good for carpet.
