Black Beer bottles and caps

So every year I want to do something different for my bottled "barleywine". This year I wanna do an RIS completely over the top, but I want to find some black bottles and black beer caps...
Anyone got a source?

Hmmm.... can't say I've seen black bottle caps and I think if you put a RIS in a 'brown bomber' I think you've got yourself a black bottle. You could do a black wax dip on oxygen absorbing caps and get a really cool effect plus have great packaging for aging.

I have some overstock caps that are mostly black. Check with your LHBS.
Or google is your friend:

Why not just spray paint the whole bottle and cap? Why stop at black?
The Home Despot has this cool paint called trunk liner that spits out a textured green and black color.

Get your black bottle caps here

I buy these in the American Flag design. I must say they are good sturdy caps made of thicker metal than most the caps I have had in the past. As a result my capper really puts a good tight seal on them.

Or clear bottles. They would become black without the need for "spray-painting".
