You can check if the mesh `visibility`property. A value of 1 means no transparency at all.  
I’m wondering if, instead of transparency, it is related to normals. Bad normals means having a dark color where it should be lighted.  
Can you check with the inspector?

Other potential issue is zfighting: multiple faces at the same place. This will be more visible if your model has back faces with backfaceCulling set to true.

Also, make sure that your material does not have transparency enabled / alpha = 1:
