The point is that it doesn't become completely smooth. The paint adheres better if there is a little texture. Even if the paint is thin, it easily fills small "scratches" that fine sandpaper gives. Personally, I rarely use finer than 120-grit paper. Granted, I don't have a Ferrari, but even if I did, I probably wouldn't use finer than K240. There’s really no reason to, as it should be painted at least twice. What you’re probably thinking about is polishing. Or just painting with clear coat.
These are the silvery surfaces in the picture in post 1. Everything except the gear stick.
First, you need to check if it's a surface that will wear out, like boots rubbing against the paint. In that case, powder coating is usually preferred.
Otherwise, you can just try different black 2k paints and choose the finish you want, from glossy to fully matte.
Regardless, practice a lot before you start painting the bike parts. The bike seems to be in good condition, and sloppy paint jobs are not pretty.
Check some forum for that bike; there’s usually someone who has found a good paint that matches the original black color.
