Why not just use guildflex plastic trunking which hides them quite nicely.
Save yourself a lot of work too.
Cost you about a fiver and take you 10 mins to do.
If you must, you can swop the pipes for plastic.

Channel out the wall where required, probably with an angle grinder and replace the copper tube like for like. Depending on the age of your house you may find that the timbers behind the plasterboard will need to be notched out so as to allow the siting of the pipes. It will help no end if you can solder.
You can use plastic if you really want to, I wouldn't, not even in my enemies house.
