Recs for topside paint job in Ensenada

Hi,
I’m thinking about taking a much needed break from work and sailing down to Ensenada from Long Beach. I was thinking about having the topsides of my boat painted. Hull above waterline and the deck, including non-skid. My bottom paint is good but topsides are getting old (40 yr old gel coat that can’t be polished anymore).

Has anyone done this recently? My boat is a 30’ Islander, pretty basic plastic. I read the rates at Baja Naval and they look reasonable for labor. $35/hr. I could call and get quotes, and I will, but I’m hoping to get some opinions on where to go, reviews, etc from skippers with experience getting work done there. Painting here in LA is crazy expensive.
