Not trying to pour Haterade all over anyone, but the "Post pics of your [blank]" might be getting a little out of hand. What's next? The "I want to see pics of your bikes that have purple & white splash Cinelli bar tape, 172.5mm cranks, and 80mm Nitto technomic stems, in the long version Superthread"?
I mean I'm not one of those obsessive "USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION RAAAAWWR!" type folks, but the specificity of this request strikes me as a lil' bit funny...

The tires have black in them? I know the crank is silver and I want a black crank, but I had those cranks already so I used them.

Grips and crank notwithstanding... (cranks will eventually be painted black, and the next set of grips will be black as well)

Been using a brake on my anodized front wheel and the paint is still black, and it stops great. You'll have a problem only with powdercoated rims. I'm not saying the pain wont eventually come off, but it won't be nearly as bad as powdercoated, in fact it will probably look like a machined rim eventually.

Those are all black deepvs. I don't use the brake very often, but a few times per ride. Been using them for several months now, and the paint is still good.
