Worse case, I repaint them.

I'm really hoping to have that rack done by October (when I expect pipping babies) so this won't really be necessary since the tubs will be nice and dark in the rack anyway. As it is now, my baby rack is open with clear tubs so I'm just trying to make things as secure as possible!
