Ok so, ive downloaded a M1911 model for me to practise skinning on and so on, no problem, i begin skinning the weapon, no problem, so make it all grey and do a few screws and a basic wood look for the grip.

But then to carry on to see what i should do next, i decided to put it in 3Ds Max so i could see it in 3D.

So, i import for 3DS file, and this is what i see:

(normal right?)

and then press 'M' and click the box next to Diffuse, select Bitmap, and then the UV map and i then see this:

There is something wrong there as it is all grey and no brown or darker screws etc.

What am i doing wrong?

Here is the UV so far:
