[Dirty Harry]

I like the white pipe look. It goes well with my white stripes. Unfortunately, I have never found a coating that would give me a nice, clean, flat white look that the vendor would warrant as maintenance free and to stay nice looking. So, for many years now, I've just re-painted my pipes every summer with white VHT header paint. Once a year does it. I'd probably have that much work in trying to keep coated pipes white. And, a rattle can of paint only costs $5.95. Plus, when someone burns the tongue out of their sneaker, leaving a crusty deposit on the pipe, a little sandpaper and a quicky touch up is no problem.
