You'll be fine, do an air brush touch up or go to your automotive paint supply and have it put in paint cans and use a shop vac to take up the overspray.Yeah it happens. I should of got it poweder coated but is ok. I will touch it up and wet sand it smooth.
You have to use the cobalt drill bits. Use a center punch to ensure your hole is on center as measured.Damn Ryobi bits keep braking on me. Going to home Depot .
