If your apron is already painted drilling may create a problem. I had to
drill for my rear 'TRIUMPH' badge when the body guy thoughtfully welded up
those holes. The car was already painted (base and clear coat). All went
well until a couple of years later when cracks appeared in the paint
radiating from a couple of the holes. There was not a load of bondo on
there, perhaps a skim of filler was used. Perhaps I should have chamfered
the edge of the hole after drilling or some other technique.
I mention all this in case anyone has a good technique for drilling after
painted.
