Nice tip. In addition to what you've shown, I've run into some smaller holes that had some irregularities that make it too difficult to cut the tape as you did. What I did to solve this was to overlay the tape then rub it with my dirty glove. This leave an outline on the tape of the hole underneath. I then remove the whole piece of tape and transfer it to the sheet metal.
The method can work in reverse, too. I needed to make some cuts in a door skin for my new handles so I used tape to trace the outline from the donor vehicle then I transfered it to poster board. That gave me a stencil that I could use on both door skins.
I love masking tape!!!
