I wouldn't worry, the heat passes over so quick it shouldn't damage the paint. Your more likely to sustain damage from the exhaust getting hot with prolonged use, ie trackday, than you are from a flame.

No don't bother. As Taylor said,it comes and goes so quickly that it wont damage your paintwork

Mine has been spitting flames for years. It's never marked the paintwork or caused any problems apart from making the exhaust really black
