[Healeys] Holes in Painted Surface

[Bob Spidell]

I suspect it would depend on type of material, type of paint, condition 
of both, etc. but have always assumed applying some kind of 
tape--electrical, masking, etc.--over and under--if the underneath is 
painted, too--the area to be drilled is about all you can do to prevent 
chipping.  Make sure you use a sharp bit, and a variable speed drill so 
you can start slow to drill through the paint.

Begs the question: do you use a punch to 'prime' the hole--with or 
without tape--before drilling?
