I will be really glad if one out there can figure out just a verb that's got no opposite. Go-Come, black-White,i think that should be an exemption to this scenario.

There are lots, e.g. varnish, skip, cartwheel, engrave. By the way in your example please note that 'black-white' are opposing adjectives. Verbs always relate to an action or activity. To make things more interesting you could think about phrasal verbs, e.g. 'get down', 'put up', 'brass off', 'gild the lily'... from these you can oppose with 'get up', 'put down', but hardly 'copper on' or 'tarnish the weed'... one way to while away a few rainy afternoons I suppose...
