Just got a new pair of rear brake discs from PP. They are painted gray on the non-brake surfaces. Can I leave the paint on? Also, there is a film of oil on the brake surfaces. I'll clean that with brake cleaner. Anything else I need to do to the the discs before I put them on the car?

Leave the paint alone....it will keep the non braking surface from rusting.
Just clean the braking surface with brake cleaner and install as normal.
Enjoy new rotors....are you installing new pads also...you should be.
