About 454 Design
454 Design is a company based in Weinfelden, Switzerland, specializing in high-quality Cerakote coatings and precise laser engraving. Cerakote is a ceramic-based coating that protects surfaces against scratches, wear, corrosion, chemicals and high temperatures while offering a wide range of colors and finishes. The coating process includes cleaning and degreasing, sandblasting to prepare adhesion, application with a spray gun, and curing in an oven. In addition to standard coatings, the company also offers Cerakote High Temp coatings for exhaust systems, engine parts and brake calipers. Materials coated include metals such as steel, aluminum, titanium, brass and copper, heat-resistant plastics such as nylon, polycarbonate, GFRP and CFRP, as well as, with limitations, hardwood, glass and ceramic. The services are aimed at customers from the automotive, firearms & hunting, industrial and mechanical engineering, electronics, and 3D printing sectors.

Materials & Processes
Cerakote Ceramic Coating
High-strength ceramic coating with high scratch resistance, corrosion, heat and chemical resistance, and a thin layer thickness.
Cerakote High Temp
Heat-resistant variant for exhaust systems, engine parts and brake calipers in the automotive sector.
Laser Engraving
Precise engraving for individual marking and finishing on various materials.
Steel (Carbon Steel)
Excellent adhesion, protection against rust, abrasion and chemicals.
Stainless Steel
Suitable for corrosion-exposed components such as tools and machine components.
Aluminum
Typical applications include wheels, engine blocks and decorative parts.
Titanium
Coating with optimal adhesion for high-quality components.
Brass & Copper
Suitable for decorative and functional finishes.
Nylon, Polycarbonate, GFRP & CFRP
Heat-resistant and structured plastics with good adhesion, e.g. for grips and outdoor equipment.
Hardwood (Walnut, Maple, Mahogany)
Conditionally coatable after priming/sealing, e.g. for rifle stocks and knife handles.
Glass & Ceramic
Coating possible with a special adhesion promoter, lower resistance than on metal.
Sandblasting
Surface preparation by roughening for optimal coating adhesion.
