Default Drilling bars

So my cousin is switching up the look of his bike and giving me his 16" apes for my bob. Only problem is they are not drilled for switches and all that good ****. My plan is to take mine off to get measurements and make sure everything is drilled the same. My question is if I will need to do anything additional as far as like a coating or anything so they don't rust where I drill. Anyone have any experience with this?
