    Its a basic aesthetic mistake: gold and red stop lights and orange indicators - yuk! Just doesn't work.

    If gold is so great why are you called argento :)

    To be serious, the Dino, in design terms, is very much a car of the 1960s with its voluptuous curves. Metallic gold is very much a colour of the 1970's where the design theme was much more about flatter panels and cripser edges. Gold works better on this simpler, crisper design style because the more intense bursts of reflected light from the crisp edges, contrast nicely against the more subtle sheen from the flat panels. The Dino shape doesn't need the 'glitz' of gold; its beauty is in its physical form, gold just takes it over the top, its too 'loud'. It literally would be 'gilding the lily' putting a Dino in gold - I my humble opinion.
