I have done this in the past. What worked for me was to cover the outside
with masking tape and drill a 1/16 hole from the center of the inside to the
outside. Then pull the masking tape. Put down a new layer of masking tape.
Take a safety pin and punch the hole in the masking tape, Then drill the
hole from the outside to the inside in the correct size. It took twice as
long but it did work.
Good Luck,
Jim House

Subject: [oletrucks] drilling through finished paint
The PO of my 1950 3100 has filled the four "Chevrolet" emblem holes in
the front of the hood and finished/painted over them. I've purchased a
new emblem and need to re-drill the holes out. This means drilling from
inside the hood out through the finished paint. Is there any danger or
chance of chipping or cracking the paint as I drill through it?
Any suggestions to safe guard against this?
Thanks, Sam
