Pipes were painted black or white.
The best approach to white pipes seems to be a spray can of hi-temp paint. The cleaning kit for white pipes is... a spray can of hi-temp paint. [/b]

As far as the pipes are concerned, you may want to look into HPC Coating them. Mine were HPC (High Performance Coatings) coated 11 years ago in matte black satin and there is not a chip or spot of rust on them (the car has never been in the rain however, ... sigh). They were done by HPC in Manchester, CT but I think HPC also as locations in Salt Lake City, UT and Oklahoma City, OK (maybe more places now). The colors available at the time I had mine done were: polished aluminum, black, blue, red, white and gray.
My headers and intake are HPC-1 Polished Aluminum ("silver").
All in all a real super job with everything still as fresh as the day it was done. I would highly reccomend that firm.
