Proton Pack, drilling before painting...

Now, I realize that you're supposed to drill all your holes before you paint anything. But as I was looking at a bunch of reference pictures of the Proton Pack (Mine's on Order) and it seems like there are only a few holes that would really make much a difference as far as drilling first. All the others would either be obscured or on the inside of the shell into other pieces where you wouldn't notice them. I guess it might be a pain if you're having to handle it a lot, but if you want it weathered what the heck's the difference, lol.

I don't know, what does everyone else think?
 
Why wouldn't you drill first? I see no benefit to doing it after the paint job to many things can go wrong...

Theres a big difference between cool looking weathering and an unsightly c*ck up ;)

Because if you do you're going to have to wait to buy ever single little piece, and even after all the money I've put out on it, there's still a ton of parts I need.
