Quick question about Rotors

I just bought some rear rotors. They look like this:



It looks like it has a gray coating all over it. Do I install the rotor as is, or do I have to machine that coating off at a shop or something?

Every rotor I've bought before had a metallic finish out of the box, except this one...

Plz Help

Pads will rub it off.

Leave the coating, it helps to seat the pads to the rotors.
