I’m suspecting what your actually seeing from the front of the car is the air-conditioning condenser not the Radiator. The radiator is behind the condenser.

correct. Somewhere it was mentioned that the car has 2 condensers, one in front of each front radiator.
I suspect black screens will become available in the aftermarket. keep junk out and look better

Had an interesting experience with my 2008 C6. After ~ 6 months the AC Condenser sprung a leak. Service Manager said GM won't cover as it "could have been caused by a rock!" Paid $800 for a new condenser. Asked to take old one home. Found it was bent and one of the heat transfer fine dented, which caused the leak NOT a rock. Showed the failure occurred by pressure from the inside. Wrote a report and said I wanted to talk to the GM Service tech person when he visited the dealer (which they do periodically.) Report was sufficient, got a full $800 refund! In the mean time I bought and installed a stainless mesh aftermarket Condenser/Rad Protector.
PS Had similar experience years ago getting a cracked clutch pressure plate covered on 1 year old GM car with GM Service Rep looking at defect in the casting and agreeing to cover. The biggest $ refund was on my 260Z where a letter to Datsun in Japan with a detailed report got a refund on a new differential!
Really easy. Light coats. I used like half a can for 2 intercoolers. A can would easily coat both radiators on the c8.
key is, light fast coats side to side. Start spraying off the radiator and stop off the radiator. Really hard to mess up but helps if you know how to spray paint stuff. May look splochy but this is under flash and it's out in the open. Once it's in the bumper it's near invisible.
This is before I painted the radiator.
