As the former owner of a powder coating business I can assure you that no powder coating really looks like chrome. From 25 feet it might pass for the original bright anodize (which also doesn't resemble chrome) and could be a good choice if you are on a budget and originality is not a concern. As for durability, it is an organic coating and much softer than chrome or anodize.
Just for the record, the term "powder coating" is often misused and confused with high performance (metallic, ceramic, etc.) coatings which are horses of an entirely different color. Generally speaking, decorative powder coating uses chemistry closely related to conventional paints but dispenses with their solvents by using the dry, electrostatic application process rather than wet spraying.
