Paint's not sufficient evidence, since there's insufficient information recoverable to do more than say "It was painted with this paint formula and colour". It does no more than a discription. Good for corroboration but not enough to build a case on. Now, if you can find the other car with matching paint and damage, that's evidence, but they didn't have any confirmed details of the other car to go by, just hearsay unfortunately. |

As stated above they could have checked the damage on plate given and if it was the correct car it would have been plasted with paint and plastic from my wife's car.
