If the primer is showing you can't remove them. Just buy some touch paint and go to town, it's not that hard. The dents...good luck if you have never done body work. I believe whoever told you to dry ice them is referring to the technique where you heat the metal and then rapidly cool it to pull it back up.

Re: touch up paint

For touching up scratches you can try to layer the touch up paint, so its thick. Then you can wetsand it accordingly and then buff the area. It will really hide the defects.
