For me the colour is the toughest decision, at one point Racing Yellow, Gentian Blue and Chalk were all in the running...

Good luck!

Oh yea I had a racing yellow run last week!!!! Still love the yellow but just worried about how it looks to others and dont like being that much above the radar.

Did you go PCCB on yours I cant remember?

Interesting, I did not notice any pattern like above on my center radiator, although too soon I suspect for a 2020 they do need to be cleaned regularly...

That looks like a warranty claim Metalone.

@metalone you could start a thread specific to the radiator discoloration to see if others have seen it on their GT4/Spyder's, but agree with @DFW01TT you should take it to the dealer and report it ASAP. This will also help others if the situation is wider spread than just Chalk cars.

I checked my US GT4 (it's Miami Blue) just now and I have this as well. I chalked it up (pun intended) to just some spillover in production of some kind.
Doesn't look like something that's going to hurt anything, but I'd be interested to see what a dealer has to say about it

My concern would be that anything that corrosive that has already stripped off the black paint and left small piles of material at each horizontal coolant tube could reduce the service life of the radiator...

Unsure if it's hard to see in the picture but the stripes are not corroded paint, they're actually on the surface of the radiator. It's not the underlying material color

Possibly, I looked and saw paint stripped off down to raw aluminum and piles of aluminum oxide at each horizontal tube... worst case scenario thoughts in my mind.
