I am looking to paint my garage two tone. One colour on all of the drywalls, and a darker colour on the trims, all the wood around the overhead door, above the concrete and concrete itself.

For some of you who've painted the concrete and wood the same colour. How do you get it to match, what do you use?

Can I use the same method for the support beam, don't even know what that material is call, I just want the same tone as the rest of the wood.

Then I've seen many people install baseboards to make the wall transition nice, I would just buy some extra can of spray paint and do these?

This is a standard two car attached garage. It's drywall and taped.
my floor has consumer grade epoxy, they don't last with our Alberta winter, snow, sand, heated tires parked over it...

attached is some troubled areas that I am not sure how to make pretty :(

Looks to me like you have a bit of prep work to do, Id start with sanding the drywall at least some, caulking all the cracks and gaps in your wood, Id think about drywalling above your garage door, then get a good primer for your drywall and wood, use blockfill on the concrete stem walls, then choose your paint and colors and go to town. Hope that helps. MM
