Bright dip or hard coat anodizing is not cheap, but better that powder. The near chrome powder coating is not as shinny as chrome. The process for bright dip is the same as on you shinny shower door frames. It is the closest to the original. Clear anodizing will dull the color to a satin finish, not what you want. I do aluminum glass railings that utilized these finishes. The chrome plating will require plating copper prior to the chrome, it may work fine, it may not, on this I can not comment, but the bright dip is probably the best bet.
