"flash" refers to the time paint has to dry inbetween coats. different paints have different dry times. so either some areas were dry and other parts werent and it was sprayed causing a drip or smear. dont be afraid to ask them questions especially if your paying for it...
this information can be found on the internet aswell.

oh it's a maaco job? thats really nice they are fixing it now instead of waiting for you to bring it back though.
paint flash usually means the dry times inbetween coats while painting.
sounds to me like they were just throwing you some technical terms to give you an excuse. they probably got some big runs or had other major problems.
