DeadEye Finishing started with a simple idea: there had to be a better way to make gear look good and perform even better. It all kicked off when Mike and Anthony teamed up, combining their passion for craftsmanship with a drive to build something truly unique.
Mike, ever the entrepreneur, thrives on turning challenges into opportunity. One of the first? Finding a place to start. He offered up his old calf barn, and with some sweat and vision, it became our first official shop. Anthony—armed with a decade of auto body experience and technical training—was the perfect fit for bringing high-end finishes to life. Having a “Body Man” in the family sure came in handy.
Like most startups, we had our share of humble beginnings—dipping our first pieces in a cattle tank and learning the hard way. After realizing we needed to sharpen our skills, we hit the books, took the courses, and leveled up.
Seven years and a lot of growth later, DeadEye now offers elite finishes including Cerakote™, Moly, Teflon, hydrographics, and full vehicle restoration. We’ve earned certifications from TWN Industries, Cerakote™, and Martin Senour Paints—because quality matters. We’re a tight-knit crew, serious about our craft and committed to getting it right—but we never forget to have fun while doing it.
At DeadEye, we’re not just chasing perfect finishes—we’re chasing a dream.
