Want translucent color on nickel plated ABS parts

Sir,
I want to color my ABS moulded parts, I can nickel plate it and then I want different colors on it, looking something like anodised parts.
Can anyone guide me for complete process -- maybe electrophoretic lacquering?
Thanking you,
Praful

You can do aluminum metallisation and then colour it. This is usually done for images of deities with LED decoration etc. They are pretty popular.
