No reason to cover the metal, but the edges of the cuts should be filed with sandpaper or something to take off the sharp edges so the routed wires don't cut.

Electrical tape should do the trick. It might not even look that bad if you're careful.

If you can't find the above suggested parts locally and need something in a hurry. Go to your local car parts store and ask for the smallest vacuum line they got, split it in half with a razor and you got some wires protector.

Check out your local hardware store for some grommets.

Going with electrical tape is the right choice. So much less effort than buying a more expensive solution, and it can easily look professional, while still being functional. This is the hole I cut in my ft01 a few days ago, and covered with 2 layers of electrical tape.
