Our sections come in Blue or Plain (oiled). Im pretty sure the blue is just a primer, it comes off very easy with a wire brush for welding or it can be easily painted over. Not so easy to paint oiled steel. My personal preference is blue because its easier to clean for tig welding.

In the US, most of the shapes come with an oiled coating...
