Coloring galvanized water taps

I wish to color the nickel galvanized copper water taps made in our country. I want some light shiny colors apart from the traditional nickel plated taps. Can anyone suggest some process or chemicals that can be used in the galvanizing process to derive those colors?
Your help will be highly appreciated.

Hi, Khaled. You cannot do this within the nickel plating process, but you can do a secondary process of applying translucent electrophoretic lacquer to the taps.
