Exterior house paint ,exterior metal paint for the garage doors
Definitely use exterior paint, the best you can afford. The better quality of paint the longer it lasts. Generally window frames, doors, accents are painted with a semi-gloss; the siding should be painted with a flat paint because it will hide minor imperfections. Check your paint to see if it says it can be used on metal.
I would plan the paint for the garage first, then if there is left over, use it on the window boxes. You will need to purchase a paint compatable with the metal garage doors...I wouldn't get a gloss, satin (maybe semi gloss) would probably look betater on the garage
