Paint is an example of trace evidence
• Transferred by:– Car accidents
• Car-car
• Car-victim
– Wet paint leaving a mark or imprint– Microscopic transfer on to a tool used to
commit a crime• Ex: crobar used to break open a door
![Page 6: Monday March , 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681515b550346895dbf802e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Paint is an example of trace evidence
• Analyzed by:– Layers of a chip– Ingredients– Custom coloring
• chromatography
![Page 7: Monday March , 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681515b550346895dbf802e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Paint is a mixture• Pigment (color)
– Blues and greens are organic– Reds, yellows, whites: inorganic
• Modifiers (change pigment) – Control the property of the paint
• Gloss, flexibility, durability, toughness
• Extenders (keep pigment)– Add bulk and covering capacity– Inorganic
• Binders (help paint stick to the surface)– Natural or synthetic– Stabilizes the mixture – Forms a film when spread
![Page 8: Monday March , 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681515b550346895dbf802e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Automobile Coatings or Layers of paint
• Electrocoat Primer – the first layer applied to the steel for corrosion resistance.
• Primer surfacer – smooths out and hides imperfections
• Basecoat or Undercoat – provides color and represents the “eye appeal” of the finish
• Clearcoat or topcoat – resists UV radiation and acid rain
![Page 9: Monday March , 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681515b550346895dbf802e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Which layer of paint is most informative?
• Undercoat more than any other property, gives paint its most distinctive forensic characteristics.
• contains most pigment
![Page 11: Monday March , 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681515b550346895dbf802e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Each layer is unique
• Top coat, primer and undercoat all have different chemical compositions
• Exposure to chemicals, dirt and rain can complicate analysis
![Page 13: Monday March , 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681515b550346895dbf802e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Motivation• Thrift Store Masterpiece?
Teri Horton, a retired truck driver, talks with CNN's Anderson Cooper about a painting she bought years ago that she believes is the work of famed painter Jackson Pollock. Horton
believes her painting is worth about $50 million Some experts disagree.
Is it or isn't it? How would you tell?

![Page 24: Monday March , 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681515b550346895dbf802e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
London tower bridge
• built in 1894
• Extract paint chip samples by first placing a piece of masking tape over an area, smacking it with a chizzle then remove the tape
• Helps to establish each layer as undercoat, primer, finishing coat etc.
• Layers of dirt defines the upper layer of finish coat– Also tells you about the environment the paint was
exposed to
• 1956 clean air act: no dirt layer
![Page 25: Monday March , 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681515b550346895dbf802e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
London bridge tower continued
• Dirt helps to determine the time frame of the layer
• Comparing layers allows to determine how the bridge looked and was changed through out history
![Page 26: Monday March , 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681515b550346895dbf802e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Collecting paint from a crime scene
• Found on a variety of objects– Clothing– Vehicles– Tools– Furniture
• Mixed with dirt or grease• Undermost layer is the most informative• Matching chips with flakes individualize evidence
therefore preservation is extremely important• Use of dental drills and scalpals are the most often used
tools
![Page 27: Monday March , 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681515b550346895dbf802e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Paint analysis
• Narrow down a paint sample to the year, make and model of production
• Find the factory that produced the paint and the dealership it was first sold
![Page 29: Monday March , 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681515b550346895dbf802e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Thursday 3/7/13• Homework: Textbook read page 201 Case reading
the central park rapist
• Question 1- Who were the original suspects in this case and why were they suspected of the rape?
• Question 2- What did the forensic analyst in this case testify to?
• Question 3- Even though semen samples did not match, why were the suspects convicted?
• Question 4- Who was the central park rapist and how was he caught?
![Page 30: Monday March , 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681515b550346895dbf802e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Paint: inorganic and organic
• Causes different chemical analysis of different types and colors of paint chips.
• Microscope: traditional and most important in locating and comparing paint specimens– Analysis at 10-40 times
magnification reveals paint layers
– Identifies each individual layer
![Page 31: Monday March , 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681515b550346895dbf802e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Different paints yield different color results
![Page 32: Monday March , 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681515b550346895dbf802e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Assessment
• How would you collect a paint sample from a car which is suspected of a hit and run?
![Page 33: Monday March , 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681515b550346895dbf802e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Paint chip and flake analysis
• The number of layers is determined by variety of microscopic technique
• Compare flakes to known or control samples easiest technique is to match fractured edges to an area of paint loss
• Investigators use light microscopes, stereomicroscopes and sometimes scanning electron microscopes to look for jigsaw fits
![Page 34: Monday March , 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681515b550346895dbf802e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

By matching the paint trace (on the glass slide) to known samples, the exact color can be found.
![Page 36: Monday March , 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681515b550346895dbf802e/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Stereoscopic microscopic analysis of paint
![Page 37: Monday March , 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681515b550346895dbf802e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Analysis of paint
• Stereoscopic microscopes– Compare known specimens
• Color
• Surface texture
• Color laying sequence
– Layers of different colored paint are very helpful in matching an unknown to a known sample
![Page 38: Monday March , 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681515b550346895dbf802e/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Analysis of paint
• Micro-spectrophotometry– Helps determine nature of
pigments by reflecting light through them
– Infrared spectrometry: determines organic components
– X-ray powder diffraction determines microcrystalline components
![Page 39: Monday March , 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681515b550346895dbf802e/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
• Top four: cross sections of different samples and underlying layers of red paint of different red automobiles
• Bottom Four: cross sections of common red household paint

Pyrolysis• Pyro: Fire
• Lysis: to break
• Gas chromotography
• Chromotography: separates paint according to color
• Paint is vaporized and injected into a gas chromotograph which separates paint into its components
![Page 42: Monday March , 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681515b550346895dbf802e/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Mass spectrometry• Separates paint chip
components based on molecular weight
• Each pigment has a different molecular weight
• Creates a chemical fingerprint that can be compared to reference samples
![Page 43: Monday March , 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681515b550346895dbf802e/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Royale Canadian Mounted Police
• Created a database called Paint Data Query– Contains chemical composition of paint from
most vehicles sold in North America after 1973– International database– Used by forensic scientists to test unknown
samples found at crime scenes– FBI: has a similar database of more than 40,000
paint samples
