My buddy is selling his 9ft 5wt Winston Pure rod and offering to give it to me for cheap. Only issue is that there is a part where the rod was rubbed to the point of removing the paint. Is this purely a cosmetic issue, or is the rod trashed now? Is this something that would expensive to fix?

It’s hard to tell from the picture. Do you know how the damage occurred? It doesn’t appear the area is near a ferrule so it’s hard to imagine how this would happen with normal use. Seems like something bad happened to this rod.
Hard saying, not knowing.
Probably just a cosmetic issue, but hard to tell from the picture.
You could try to repaint it, but we’re talking about prepping the surface, matching the color, and then sealing it….If it bothers you as it it, then I’d think you should not get it.
