I looked for a spot weld bit when I was working on my project and almost every local retail place said those bits were "too specialized" so they didn't carry them. I could have ordered one online, but I decided to try a titanium coated bit first, about the size of the spot welds. That worked just fine for me. It would have been a tad easier with the proper bit, but if you are careful to not let it go all the way through you can get by. I also didn't think it was necessary to spend $15-20 on a single bit that honestly wouldn't get that much use.
