rusty BBQ griddle plates.

Hi as the weather is going to be nice we fancy a bbq! BUT oh dear the cooking plates are really rusty and horrible it is a 3 burner B&Q barcelona gas BBQ and it appears they dont sell replacement grills.It is about 4 years old I have looked around googled etc but cant find any.
Has anyone any suggestions to how we can revive them?
Thanks if you can help.

    Are you talking about cast iron grills? If so then just give them a good rub down with a stiff wire brush to remove all the rust, then rub them all over with an olive oil soaked rag prior to using

    If its cast iron you can get paint designed for cast iron stoves I am sure that could also be used for that

    Just turn the heat on and let it burn "au natural". Then rub down with a stiff wire brush. Job done.
