Buy new.

You won't have to worry about it for years to come.

Johnny has it right. Used trim on our cars looks like shit. Now replacement trim is expensive but the fact is you want the car to look good with fresh paint? Then new is the way. About the only piece I would recommend repainting is the top black metal trim above the door. Its uber expensive and can be painted and covered with window visors.
All other trim area get new.

Oh and Udon the trim piece your talking about at the top of the door is called the window sash. I would recommend replacing it as it keeps water from running into your door and used they get old and start cracking. Sure the metal part on it is easy to paint but to do it right? Buy new.
