I've painted onto my 3D Model, and exported it to Unity.

But Unity does not show the model with the brush strokes, did I need to do something special to show the paint?

You do not paint on the model, you paint on the textures. You need to export and replace them.

So, here's what I did.

Opened the texture PS_3D_Default (see screenshot)

Drew on it,

closed and saved, then exported the model again.

Was that correct?

Not sure what format you have exported in but if it is wavefront (obj) you should have :

The mesh object (obj file)

A material file (mtl file)

One or more texture files (you can choose the format for these in the 3D Export Properties dialogue)

As Mylenium said all these are exported and need to be imported into your other program if your texture changes are to be seen in that program.
