mark it out and cut out were needed but leave 1-2mm from were youve marked and then finish with a sanding bit on a dremmel and all should be good

or get a downward cutting blade. a fine metal cutting blade would be better imo with the jigsaw set without the forward/backward movement selected. it wont chip the paint if you take your time.
