Well, I=E2=80=99ve always done this.

1)      Put a piece of masking tape over the drilling point. Then =
another over that. Push them down  tight so they=E2=80=99re making close =
fit.

2)      Mark the start position through the tapes with a bradawl.

3)      Start drilling with a hand drill and a small, sharp(!!) drill =
bit. Sharp bit. Slow, steady pressure. Nice and straight so no skidding.

4)      Drill a nice little pilot hole. You should be OK by hand and, =
I=E2=80=99m guessing, that the metal isn=E2=80=99t too thick if =
it=E2=80=99s painted.

5)      Go up a size drill bit and drill with an electric drill, nice =
and steady does it. Keep it slow and straight so it won=E2=80=99t want =
to jump out.

6)      Keep going up in size until you get the right size hole.

Don=E2=80=99t forget what may be lurking on the other side of the =
painted surface...it may not like being drilled!

Simon
