Hi FakeSnake,
Side curtain ferrules are a fairly large diameter if I recall correctly. Like .450>.600.
If yours are this size, do not use a drill bit. You will not be happy with the hole produced by a standard 2 flute drill bit in your body. (It will be ugly and not at all round. It will be a triangle.)
Use a Snap-on, Starrett, or other high quality brand very fine tooth hole saw. (Make sure that the tooth offset is small, not large like the Harbor Freight type brands. The big tooth offset is fine if you are drilling holes in your wall for pipes, etc.)
Then go slow with drill motor speed, take your time. Saving time drilling the holes now, will just let you spend more time fixing the clear coat later.
Tape the area with masking tape as well. Remove tape by pulling at a very acute angle, almost back on itself. This will minimize pull up on the clear coat.
Hope this helps.
