Step 1 The sharp side down, parallel to the line.
The first modification I did was to enhance the appearance of the door handle assembly by scribing the groove around it.  Using a sharp knife, I marked the line so that the knife won't derail in the second step.

 

Step 2 The sharp side up, perpendicular to the line.
Then, I put the knife perpendicular to the line, and started engraving.   I moved the knife in very small intervals from "left to right" every time lengthening the groove, while the groove itself was engraved in a counterclockwise   direction.

The result
It looks a bit wide, but it should look alright once primer and base coat are applied.  The key hole can be replaced with a thin slice of a plastic rod.

Gunze Sangyo Mr. Surfacer was applied to see if there were any unnecessary scratches.
