The Motion Phase GT Paint does little for me,
The Faded two tone Mako Shark paint is pretty darn sweet on any C3.
It's not unlike a 78 pace car idea,
Dark on top, light on the rockers just on a Mako the light is faded in, no sharp line,
I have seen it with many different top dark colors but the Mako was a very dark blue,
I was going to do mine that way but black on top,

I would think that the bottom color would have to 'feather-in' with the darker color somewhere below the horizontal break-line on the car. It should be all dark color until below the break-line or it won't really give you that Mako-shark look.
