    I don't have a precise count, but this mold has more potential spots for paint rubs than any other I've worked with. For example on the legs: the feet rub against the lower legs and rub against the roof halves when transforming, the flip down panels on his heels rub against the bumber of the car, the backs of the rotating lower leg panels rub against everything while rotating, etc. As you may know, I used this mold once before with my Car Robots Speedbreaker/RID Sideburn so I knew what to expect.

    Oh, and once again the feet were impossible to remove from the lower legs for painting. I tried forever with the soldering iron to warm the pin, but that pin extends the entire way (over 1/2 inch) so by the time the far end is warm enough to move slightly the plastic on the near end is soft and distorts. So like with Speedbreaker, I ended up needing to replace the rod that the feet rotate on. Also once again I couldn't unpin the upper leg from the lower leg. So, in summary, I'll say that kitbashing/repainting this mold is not for the beginner and will be challenging for all but the expert basher. I am nowhere near an expert, so I must be a gluten for punishment.
