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?
