An Instrumental Approach for Analysing Automotive Paint – A Review

Abstract

Hit and Run cases are reporting in almost all the countries with or without intention to cause hurt. In most of the cases eye witness or video documents (CCTV) may neither be visible nor reliable. Paint chips available at the scene of occurrence may only be the piece of information that is available to track down the culprit. The study focused on reviewing automotive paint analysis from 2015-2020 year and assessed various sample collection, technique used for analysing, advancement in technologies, challenges etc. Most commonly used instrument in our study selection is Raman spectroscopy and FTIR in automotive paint analysis.  The various advanced instruments and its challenges in the field of forensic investigation has also been reviewed . In summary the given study will provide basic details of paint analysis using various instruments and its effective significancein the field of Forensic investigation.
