the code for the paint should be on the RPO sticker on the bottom line, usually preceded by BC/CC or the number that has the letter'U' in it, as in 'U833'. this will work for most GM vehicles, btw.
Not sure a 1980 TA has an RPO tag - I think that started somewhere in the 3rd gens. Also, very likey not a BC/CC deal in 1980.

Your paint code s/b on your cowl tag.
