Abstract: In this experiment, the similarities and differences between chosen paint chips were
study. For group 1, paint chips that come from same brand which was Proton were used. Three
different colors were chosen from Protons car which were blue, green and red. For group 2, the
variable was changed from color into brands. So, all blue paint chips were obtained from three
different brands that consist of Proton, Perodua and Honda. The analysis was conducted by using
two types of instruments which were Fourier Transformed Infrared (FTIR) and Video Spectral
Comparator (VSC).
1. Introduction
Paint chip from vehicle contains vital
evidence in forensic field especially for
cases that involved hit and run, crime that
was committed inside a car and many more.
Usually, typical brand new automotive
refinishments consist of at least four
different layers which known as primer,
primer surface, basecoat and clear coat. The
composition of this four basic layer is
relatively different from each other.
Normally, paint chip contain a mixture of
extenders, pigments, binders and modifiers.
The pigments that give blue or green color
of the paint are mostly comes from organic
compounds while the others such as red,
yellow and white color are often produced
from inorganic compounds. Modifiers used
to control the flexibility, durability and
toughness of the paint while extenders will
