You've enabled the Shadow Catcher option in the Properties panel > Object > Visibility, disable it.

    $\begingroup$ what do you mean, why do you want Shadow Catcher on this part, and in that case why not create a second object with Shadow Catcher? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ This sounds like a misunderstanding: Setting a part as Shadow Catcher is a trick that helps with overlaying 3D renderings onto 2D Backgrounds. Such a part does not really show in the final image itself, it only shows the shadows thrown onto it, the rest is background color. In Cycles, any material catches shadows by default (this is what the "Shadow"-toggle in the "Ray Visibility" panel above is for). So if you want a solid part with shadows, go with the defaults and get rid of the Shadow Catcher option. $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 6, 2020 at 9:45
