i used masking tape and traced the small groove with a razor blade, though I am very skilled with a blade

i've heard of people taking masking tape and laying out strips and then using a compass to draw the circle on it then cutting it out with scissors. and i've heard someone found a sticker that fit over the white part.. get creative, just take your time.
