The Classification of Automotive Paint by Diamond Window Infrared Spectrophotometry Part III Case Histories

Abstract
In parts I and II (1,2) of this present series of papers the use of infrared spectrophotometry using diamond windows (3,4,5) in the analysis and classification of 1 to 4 μg samples of individual automotive paint layers was outlined. In order to demonstrate the practical use of the technique four recent case histories are described, three of which concern hit-and-run offences and a transfer of paint between suspect and victim, the fourth involving a fragment of automotive paint found on a murder victim. Each case presents a slightly different aspect of the forensic examination and analysis of automotive paint.
