The backs of many props these days are painted black, and with a fairly coarse tough paint. It's because the rear of the blades gets eroded by dust and salt water over the years, and black is also kinder to the pilot sitting behind it.
I'm not quite sure how to get those texture effects in FSX. It might mean finding a suitable texture on another aircraft and creating a copy of that with the ANAI filename.

Ive also tried one of the default props but that doesnt work although i did manage to get the front to work visually but the back remained black.
Thanks for the reply.

Perhaps if there's an FSX version or an FSX paint somewhere, the prop texture can be used from that? In FS9. the best place to put it is in the default texture folder, so it gets applied to all liveries using just the one copy, and that might also work for FSX.

Any help would be appreciated.
