The discrimination of automotive clear coat paints indistinguishable by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy via pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

It has been shown that by using pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC-MS), it is possible to discriminate between a variety of automotive clear coat paints, indistinguishable by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR).
