[DIY] repair of old style masonite lap siding

 

Hello again,
The siding on my house and garage is the old style 12" lap siding, made of Masonite. Fifty plus years old.
The siding on my garage is being completely replaced, probably with hardie-board cement fiber stuff. My house has the same type of siding though. What do I do about repairing(replacing)siding on my house? I don't want to reside my entire house.
Apparently this stuff has been outlawed because of the poor quality of the product manufactured in the '90's. What are my choices for repair materials? I saw one fellow use the wood grain cement fiberboard, and turn the wood grain to the inside, which still left a sort of burlap finish on the outside. Does anyone make the cement stuff with a smooth finish? Can I use Masonite panels cut to size? Salvaged material maybe?
Does any one make this stuff anymore?
Thanks,
John S.
