Rand Corporation did a paper in 2010 on the cost to restart the F-22 in the future:

It would seem an improvement item for the F-22, if it were to be restarted, is the stealth cladding that has been used. I believe it contributes the most to overall maintenance costs for the aircraft. Perhaps that used on the F-35 would be better.
