Side molding install

O.k., here's a very very narrow question, but if I know the answer for sure, 
it will help.

The prior owner had the car re-shot in the original black enamel thirty years 
ago.  The shop took off the side moldings, and lead-filled the holes rather 
than re-installing.  My guess--they removed the moldings and ruined them in the 
process.  

The prior original owner gave me a set of nos side moldings together with  
nylon push pin expanders she'd purchased from Rick's for connecting the 
molding. 
 I am getting the car re-painted and would like to have the holes pre-drilled 
for the post-paint installation of the molding (If I don't do this, I will 
likely travel numerous drill bits across my new paint).  

With all this build-up, the extremely minor questions are:  Exactly what size 
do I drill the holes for the push pins to install correctly?

For later:  Exactly how do those pins work, and what is the sure-fire way of 
getting the molding on without bends or later problems?

Thank you all.
