    lay down a masking tape line to follow, and cut just below with a cutoff wheel(dont let the metal get too hot to smoke the paint), then smooth the edge with a flap disc and lay some door edge trim on the cut to make it look cleaner.

    To keep the paint from chipping put the tape OVER the line to be cut.
