Richard, bedliner on a bumper sounds hideous. Sorry. However. I can see masking it off and doing parts. What parts I can't say. AFA primer doesn't the product website say? I would prefer some protection. Whatever you do on the backside should be OK for under the bedliner.

Now if I were doing part with bedliner and partly just painted, I suppose semi black would be in order. To really go for it in your climate, I might look into having the whole thing galvy dipped. That would take care of the inside (backside) quite well.

I saw some split paint and textured bumpers on Images and some looked great. Broken up with trim and accessories like a skid plate really stood out. Never seen anything like that around here.

Yet.
