Why did you go with semi-gloss? The best solution would be to repaint it the same new color, but in a flat finish. You will probably never get it perfect enough for semi-gloss not to show some imperfections.
Edit: I just read abevilacs response. I used to do faux painting for a living. I did a lot of interior domes that had a semi-gloss gold or bronze undercoat with a faux finish glaze over top of that. If the base wasn't almost perfect, the flaws would show because of the semi-gloss base reflecting the shadows of the dents or high spots. So, unless the faux finish you put over the top is almost a solid, you may still see the places where the patches are. Repainting with a flat coat is probably the quickest and easiest solution, unless you have a lot of paintings.
