How to remove rust and paint the barbecue

paintrepair

I have a barbecue similar to the one in the image. It's still in good shape, but sun has taken out the shine and there are one or two spots or rust (really small) that would like to remove.

I would like to do something about it. Either polish it or paint it. Since the metal is subject to very hot temperatures I don't know if I can do it with any regular product or paint.

How can I make the bbq shine again?

Steel wool and a wire brush with a lot of elbow grease will get the rust off. Once cleaned you can apply a spray can of high heat black paint. The kind I find and buy doesn't have a gloss to it though so getting that shine might require a high heat enamel paint which I'm not aware of being in a spray can at my local stores.
