Anyone ever have any luck having black associated shock caps reannodized? or having some of the new blue shock caps done in black? thought I'd ask before I started hunting for some nice black ones.

i think he had done some but not sure how they turned out.

Works fine, but it seems you have to leave them in the acid bath longer than some other parts

I reanodized my shock caps on my 10t. When I initially did the anodizing, the shock caps did not take the color properly. This really confused me because I had other parts in the same lot that took the color fine. Anyway, I repolished everything and tried again. The second time I anodized the shock caps by themself and left them in the electrolyte a bit longer to make sure I got a decent charge. Once I was satisfied, they went into the dye. I waited about five minutes and checked them and they had soaked the color up, much darker than what I wanted but they still look good.

This is a long answer to your question, yes they can be reanodized black, and you can turn the gold ones black as well.
