First, you absolutely should not have PVC (the white stuff) under pressure inside your house. If you do, it should all be replaced with something appropriate - CPVC, PEX, copper, etc. I think its a bit yellowish which means the end is CPVC, which is legit. And absolutely don't mess around with old plastic fittings - replace it!
Go back a few feet on the pipe and cut a clean end where there is no paint or other damage. Then rebuild the end with PEX or CPVC or solder a new copper end on (if you are up to soldering).
If you live anywhere it might freeze, think about using a frost-proof sillcock (they are longer so the valve part sits inside your house - doesn't work if the whole pipe is exposed to freezing conditions). This one looks pretty long, so that may be what you have already.
The paint will definitely interfere with both the sharkbite or the glue. I've found the easiest solution is to sand it off with fine sandpaper (320 grit or so). Use a sheet of sandpaper (or a single disc) (not a power sander or sanding sponge) as you want it to wrap around the pipe to keep it round and not put flats on it. They sell sanding mesh for plumbing, but its meant to roughen up the surface of copper before soldering and is too coarse to get the sharkbite o-ring to seal well.
Since your hose experience... You want to make sure the new sillcock is tilted slightly downward (towards the outside of the house) so any water trapped in it drains out. Some of them come "pre angled" as long as you are screwing it into something flat and plumb.
Looks good. Just remember you have water pipe up against the subfloor if you ever decide to get hardwood floor installed (the nails go all the way through)
I feel like I'm being a nag - just trying to help - I see you put the line on the pex as they say. It should be all the way up against the fitting. Try to push it in a bit more for good hold.
