- [Self Finishing Raw Steel](https://support.thehairpinlegcompany.co.uk/colours-and-finishes/self-finishing/self-finishing-raw-steel.md): Unless otherwise stated, mild steel is used on all our steel products. Unlike stainless steel, it will rust over time, so needs either protecting or maintained/cleaned to keep looking good.
