G'day Sastra,
You might not get many replies as we are more used to cars about 40 years older than yours.
You could try giving Holden or a dealer a call or hitting their website - www.holden.com.au

Call you local holden dealer, but what are you going to do with the code? Can you paint?

Hi Sastra,
               There will be a paint code on the compliance plate.  I suspect you will go to Supercheap etc. and get a touchup pen.  If you still can't find the number, go to a Auto shop e.g. suprcheap, autobarn and take a look at the touch up pens and someone will have a look under your bonnet and help you out.

All the best
