The paint code will be right at the bottom of the RPO sheet in the console.

What year is your car, snuffit? On my 84, there is a metal tag that is attached to the core support on the driver's side that states the word "ENAMEL" and then a code after it. I know it was on the early cars (82-84), but not sure if it carried over to the later ones (85-92). If your car is a TPI model, you might check under where your snorkel from the throttle body to the air filters are, on the driver's side. If the car is a Norwood car, it will say "ENAMEL". If it is a Van Nuys car, it will say "WATER" on this tag.

I'll try and post a picture of my tag in the next few days.
