    Pressure washer?

    Paint will come off - there isn't anything that's going to stick permanently to something that's fundamentally wet to the core much of the time. It's like trying to paint a damp wall - the underlying damp will push off whatever's on the surface.

    Can get a water-based wet-look paver sealer would need to be clean to apply though, and dry.

    Do you mean like large patio tiles? That sort of thing?

    If so it needs to be slip-proof and stuff. We got some fab stuff last year. Came up smashing. Not cheap though.
    I think it was oddly named so I couldnt find it on the site and ended up ringing them, a friend recommended it but it had since changed name.
