I am about to start painting the tracks but have no idea what is "black metallic"?
What color is this?

Thanks for your assistance.

Guessing it is some sort of gunmetal.

Personally I'd paint the tracks dirt color, drybrush with a little steel on the metal parts, or a dark gray on the rubber parts, and call it done.

IMHO the dirtiest part of a tank are the tracks...
