Coating on new rotors

All I have a question I just received a brand new set of rotors and they appear to have a coating on them ( I assume to prevent corrosion). Does that coating need to be removed before I install and use the brakes? If so can how should it be removed.
Thanks

What kind of coating ? Oily film - yes-.If it is a coating like silver paint -no- leave it alone.

I wish it was that easy, it is not a oily film. It is a type of light gray paint
