I did it at the spot where that guy just did a 6x backflip

I've been trying to land a misty 9 for a while, and nothing I've tried works.

The house we bought has lot of outdoor wood and we badly need to restain the sections that are exposed to the elements, but we're having trouble matching the finish on the wood that's in good shape. Any ideas on the opacity and type of product that was used? Also, any recommendations for good products with easy upkeep would be appreciated.

This thing took me about 4 months, and is the first thing I have ever made. The top has a spraypaint design with a Lazer engraved skier(skier is not a stock image, it's actually an photo of me skiing converted into Clipart) the side panels are alder, and they are also painted black. Everything but the side panels are maple. I mostly just used a plainer, table saw, and a miter saw. I also obviously needed to use a lazer engraver and a shaper. I learned a lot while making this project. I learned that you need to have a board face down while you put it though a shaper, I also learned how to use almost all of the tools that people commonly use for woodworking.
