Or am I completely mistaken by thinking that I can make it look new and function by simply painting it when it's a lost cause and should just replace it...

You can remove the trim and sand it down which would be the ideal way to go. I did that to mine, and I just used regular Rust-Oleum outdoor paint on mine, and it turned out great. Just make sure you use coats and feather the spray to produce even coats.

Known as feathering, overlapping side-to-side and up-and-down passes evenly lay your pigment down on the sheetmetal. Feathering ensures application evenness. Furthermore, using comfortable passes and avoiding excessively long swipes and transitions will prevent paint thickness from becoming concentrated in the middle of the swipe.
