Duplicolor makes a ceramic in white that worked great on the Hi tech. I took them to the ceramic coating place and had them blasted and the headers ceramc coated black. (I wouldn't recommend white headers) After using two rattle cans on the side pipes I took them back to the coater and he baked them for me free. They turned a slightly yellow shade of white so I dusted them again and they still looked good after 1600 miles when I sold the car.

Someone else asked about white ceramic coating for side exhausts recently. Jay B. recently saw my car and knows the finish on the pipes is striking. Aesthetic Finishers in Piqua, Ohio did them after the finish that had been originally done by Airborne didn't hold up. I used to have to sand and repaint them with VHT just about every time I drove the car. Now, the chips are infrequent, there's very slight discoloration when the pipes are hot but the white comes back when they cool and a very quick hit with the VHT aerosol is necessary only now and then where the pipes exit the body. Here's the link to Aesthetic Finishers

The white pipes look great, I think, but when I get caught in the rain, mine turn to a muddy brown color with gray streaks. I seem to find a rainstorm nearly every year on the way to or the way home from London. Most of the discoloration washes off with mild cleaner, however.

This may sound goofy but when my pipes get raunched out from road slop or anything else that hits them, I just use #400 sandpaper to scuff it off. Just can't sand it too vigorously or I'll go through to the metal. A quick shot of VHT after I get the crud off and they look as good as new.

Default Jet hot

I spoke with Jet Hot a few months back, they do white, but if you look at their web site it does not list it, give them a call. I'm going with white!!!!
