Cool! A coat of gloss will make your exterior paint last a lot longer and seal everything better. A nice exterior gloss paint is like a skin for your walls.

Anybody looking to do this, you could probably go 8x8 for the same money, plywood comes 4x8 and most lumber comes in 8' lengths.

Yes! When I bought my shed I didn't consider 4x8 dimensions and it bit me in the end when finishing it out.
You can also go to your local reused building materials store and see what they've got, and change your plans around a bit to fit those materials. You might find a bundle of boards not quite 8'/16' but could save you a pretty penny (and it just helps the environment)
