I was going to order the optiglnz but read somewhere that it only takes off the brown. But I think ill try it anyway. I just wonder what will happen to the paint on the engine/frame if any hits it. I will obviously try my best to not let it touch the paint but I'll be bummed if it does and messes it up.

First, try taking it back to the dealer, show him the obvious failure on their part and ask for new headers. I would assume it is obvious what happened. No need for you to have to deal with this since you paid for clean headers.
