The first design idea, why do you all think?

Design looks cool. Gloss black cans with flat black logos would be cool, too. It would be subtle, but awesome.

I like the design.
I have an idea for coloring now.
I like the tan, with tan stickers up front also.
But on the cans...
I say paint some wild strokes, splashes, or similar in tan, leaving that design black in the negative space.
I can Photoshop it for you if you don't know what I mean.

Can't post pics til tues.
I say have stickers made of the design you have, put them on the cans, then tape off a larger bold design that covers the whole area of the sticker.
Paint the larger area in tan, or another color of your choice, then peel away stickers, revealing the black underneath.
Clean with denatured alcohol, then clearcoat the whole thing.

so in a sense the design would be black with a tan outline and then black for the rest of the cans?

X2 on this, i think it would look pretty sweet

also i would change the N, S, E, W to a block style font to match the font of the JK logo, just a thought
