That’s odd. They’re usually stainless.Even really old racks are generally indestructible.I would give them a scrub with Bartenders Secret and a dish scrubber, to see if anything comes off them,and move on.Nothings going to fall in your food.You can always contact the manufacturer if this is going to make you crazy. -

Your question got cut off. Its a common mistake and you can still use them. -

They are still usable, our first house had the oven rack in the stove that looked like that, they worked fine, just not very pretty -

Bartenders secret is a cleaning product that is mildly abrasive so good for light cleaning of stainless steel sinks and fixtures. Now as for these racks, wipe them down and use them,it's just a finish. Now if you just bought your oven then maybe it's still under warranty and they will overlook the fact that you left them in and just replace them for S&H fee. -

Scrub and use. If it really bothers you, buy heat resistant paint like made for grills. Personally, I'd scrub and move on
