I dont get why metal materials are appearing black (using Metal/Rough workflow in both UE/Painter)

Im really sorry for the late reply. Been extremely busy this last week not had chance to work on this scene.

I think this may be the issue because I already have reflection captures in the scene like others pointed out (thanks for the help though)

How do I rectify this in painter?

If you already have some sort of ambient specular source in the scene(SkyLight, Reflection Actors…), then it’s down to your textures and/or material.

Your metals need to have a Base Color value above 180 sRGB and they need to have pure white in the Metalness. Also make sure your RMA or individual Roughness/Metalness/AO textures have sRGB disabled to ignore gamma correction.
