| I remember reading awhile ago that you guys are going to switch from phosphate coating the ASAP to a melonite finish like on your other products. I haven't heard whether or not this actually came to be. |

While their website still says phosphate, the ASAP I received in the last month is definitely a different finish than the ASAP I bought several years ago. The old ASAP is a grey-ish color while the most recent ASAP is blacker and has a crystaline appearance to the finish.
edit: difference in appearance only? |

Both of these lowers are identical from the same mfg, with sequential serial numbers. The older ASAP appears to be Colt grey-ish and is on the lower with the FDE CTR. The newer ASAP appears more black and is on the lower with the black CTR. The "specks" on the newer ASAP are actually light reflections from the crystaline finish. Old ASAP:
