From the Sintra website.
"Smooth solid faces -- just the ticket for ease of finishing, as well as resistance to grime buildup"
NOT! You don't want smooth surfaces for that material. It needs a pattern or grain to it. Smooth surfaces will probably show every fingerprint and scratch. The graining will give a matte or semi gloss appearance more like the original. And is there a price for this stuff?
The Hamb post discusses the Sintra as a base. THEN you put vinyl or fabric on top of it. That will increase your total thickness and you won't get them into the metal trims.
What I was proposing is just using grained PVC as the entire thing. No coverings. Done. You can paint it with vinyl dye and get your color match. Can be used as a headliner as well. Heat it to make your curves and install. Simple, one step. End of story.
