My inclination would be to try to draw the grid lines on the saucer with a pencil.
The circular lines would be fairly simply done with a draftsman's compass.
The straight lines could be laid on with a flexible straight edge.
Trying to do it with masking would involve cutting concentric circular masks. That could be done from the masking sheets used by RC Car guys, using a draftsman's compass to lay the circles out and a real steady hand to cut them out, but I'm not too sure how easy it would be to work with something like that.
I suppose that really nice effects could be accomplished with several layers of masking. but drawing the lines on seems easier to me.
