A plasma torch! fk me that's a little OTT.

I've got a new dremel to do mine with once I'm back from Europe although I'm doing mine different to everyone else.

Considering it will need painted and finished anyway....what they're actually cut with will hardly matter.

Drill, grinder, nibbler, plasma, whatever really.

Or are you trying to cut holes, and not require any paintwork to be done ?

One way or another you're going to have to paint something.

Cutting metal leaves an edge that needs painted. Do the vents you're using mask or hide this cut ?

Whatever you're cutting with, mask off first, and take it easy. Heat will burn and blister paint when using a cutter like a grinder, but if you go very slowly a bit at a time letting it cool, less chance of blistering.

Use the thinnest cutting tool you have too.
