I've used a lot of Sintra in exhibit and made all kinds of mistakes
in painting it.
To get a good paint job on Sintra, you have to use the right paint.
Krylon and Rustoleum enamels don't cut it. You need to use
acrylic lacquer or vinyl paint. Silk screening works real
well with two part polyurethane inks, too.
Since you are in Providence, try Lambert in Norwood, MA.
781-440-0842 . They are a great source for screen and
sign supplies and may give you a few helpful hints.

Hi,
We are trying to make roads that can be moved around an table top
interactive where you make your own city. We like the feel of 1/8"
rubber and Cintra would do in a pinch, but we want to paint lines down
the middle, like the stripes on streets. Our first try of spray paint
on these two substances didn't survive the scratch test. Any
suggestions of what could be used either for the road surface or for
paint? Does anyone know of a printing process that might work?
Thanks,
Jay
