I'm surprised that you've had any problems finding places to do your pipes in white. I had mine done locally at a generic powdercoater, they just had to order the white ceramic specially.

Yes, it is coarse. And, it does stain pretty easily with road grime. I kinda like the worn look, more racey. But, it is very easy to touch up with VHT paint.

See my gallery, I think it looks kinda cool.
