I am epoxy powder coating my '74 tub and it has War Flares from WH on it. I plan to use 10-32 Button allen bolts to attach. A 10-32 bolt fits easily in a 3/16 hole, so, how much bigger do I need to drill the hole to account for the epoxy powder coat, the body primer, color, and clear coats so that I will not have to drill the hole out again when the paint job is done?
Should I account for 1/64, 1/32, 1/16, or 1/8 inch of powder and paint thickness overall?
I can drop down to a 8-32 bolt, it fits a 11/64 hole, but the head is a lot smaller than the self tapping screws that came with the War Flares, so then I might need to go to a washer....not a very good look. So, back to the 10-32 bolt, and how much thickness for powder and paint should I account for?
3/16 + 1/64 = 13/64 hole
3/16 + 1/32 = 7/32 hole
3/16 + 3/64 = 15/64 hole
3/16 + 1/16 + 1/4 " hole Yikes?
Thoughts anyone?
Thanks , Forrest?
