tape off the area you plan to cut and cut out a smaller shape than your finished shape.
like this:
use the difference between the ruff hole and the finished hole to trim to desired shape and clean up the lines. the tape is suppose to keep the edges from chipping and protect the paint some what.
hope this helps

you need to use one of these for the best results:
it is the exact one that i have at home and at work, i know they're cheap (but i have to buy my own tools at work so i buy throw-aways cause my good tools get stolen or break and no one wants to replace them) but they get the job done
go to harbor freight and grab one and a couple of different size wheels, and practice on some scrap metal till you get the hang of it and take the guard off cause you cant see the line with it on-not recommended (im not taking responsibility for injuries due to no guard, its very dangerous with out it, and it shows no mercy, again its very dangerous and will take your fingers right off -ive seen it happen, its not fun holding your buddys finger in a bag of ice)
