You did great getting as far as you did - keep at it and you'll get used to climbing that crap. The view from the top is worth it.
The pinstripes will buff out, but many think they add character to a vehicle.
You might have been better to stick to the Class 3 next to the loose/steep chute. An even better suggestion is to wait and go back when the chute is filled with snow - much nicer that way.
Class 2 in the Sierra is often loose and steep - I think that is where the term Sierra Slog came from.
