Need a material to stick to paver stones

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.

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

Did you happen to miss the post below a couple of weeks ago?

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

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.

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.
