All depends on exposure.
Out in the elements both will last 10-20yrs depending on things like UV exposure, type of finish, colour of finish etc..
Hangered...both can last up to 40-50yrs if cared for.

Recovering my SuperCub myself cost be about 8000 cdn
Having it done by an AME...I bet you'll spend 12-15K....or more depending on finish detail etc
