Wood Panel(exterior)

[Facade 3](//muut.com/u/brownstoner/s3/:brownstoner:dgny:facade3.jpg.jpg)
We are trying to rejuvenate our facade, the wood panels. We’d like to keep the same look, same color. The painting company suggests to use solid stain like paint to make over the stained area, but the colors are not similar or close to our current tone. We are thinking to use IPE oil (semi-transparent) to stain it, left by the builder, but the painting company said it’s light stain, not adequate to cover the stained spots/lines. Solid stain would make wood grains invisible, and it would not look like woods. like to get some advice as we have no experience about wood maintenance and what could be the result of choices.

Can’t you just sand it and not stain but just oil it to keep the natural appearance?
