A couple of install hints for painted areas ..... use fender covers or similar to protect general working area for that dropped chuck key etc.. drill small pilot hole in center of any hole to be cut.... a common laser line and pointer can be used to verify or prove before cutting and also through the small pilot hole. Hole saws on curved body parts can make larger diameter holes so be careful, I always use a smaller hole saw and enlarge to finish diameter with a high speed burr. Last but not least I use tools/drills from the non painted side when possible to reduce paint nicks. Always run burr from non paint side so it can't skid or walk across paint area. Measure often.
