NOTE: You're going to want to line the can up with the canister beforehand, and use a sharpie to mark where to cut the top and bottom. The Red Bull can is longer than your canister, so if you just lop it off at the lids, it will be too long, and if you only shorten one side, your logo will be off center.
Anything bigger than a red bull can is going to require filler, which is going to be annoying to take off (you WILL want to take it off, as the can will fade in the sun). You're going to only want to cut the top off, as well.

you don't have to have filler... if you split the can down the back you can cut off however much u want till it's the correct circumference of your canister and then just tape the back so that it doesn't scratch your reservoir. it's just like a piece of paper, you can manipulate it to fit your res.
i just did it with a monster can today =D wish i had done a straighter cut tho...cudn't find my bigger pair of scissors...i might do it again. this time it'll be much easier =D

This was a great idea
This was funny .. I turned the can upside down so it looks like its going into my bike ..LOL
Oh also I used clear box tape to tape the outside of the can .. I hope this will make it last longer
