This Method will ONLY WORK on Android Version 1.10 and iOS because it's the ONLY PLATFORM that has a MARKED Vehicle Conversion! This DOES NOT WORK on PS2, Xbox, PC, Android (other Versions), or Definitive Edition!

This is rather complex and I can't quite explain why or how this works. What I do know is that "The Party" can mark ANY Vehicle Tommy can drive or fly into the Pink Marker at the dock during the Mission. Because of this, you can store this Vehicle into a Garage and ultimately convert it into DP/EP/EC/EC2 Black/Random.

In MOST cases the Vehicles will be Black, however, it's NOT ALWAYS the case. Sometimes, the Vehicles will be random EC/EC2's or even at times Traffic Default Colors! With some persistence, you will get what you want to achieve, though.

If you park the Vehicle normally into a Garage, it'll only be converted into EP/EC/EC2 Black, without the DP Property! Notice how the Cheetah gets sort of crushed and bumped when the Garage door closes on it. THIS IS THE REASON the Vehicle is converted to DP! Without this tiny step, it won't be DP!

Interestingly enough and technically speaking, this can be done as late as after 100% because what you're doing in one Save actually will effect ANY OTHER Save you wish. You can perform these DP/EP/EC/EC2 Black Conversions in a random "The Party" Save in another Slot and then use your MAIN Save, or whatever Save you want, as the ACTUAL Save you want to have the DP/EP/EC/EC2 Black Vehicle of your choice in. For instance, I load up a Save, I do what I need to do, and then I save the game in a random Slot. Afterward, I reload this SAME Save, then I quickly hit pause and reload ANY SAVE YOU WANT YOUR DP/EP/EC/EC2 BLACK VEHICLE INSIDE and then drive to the Garage where I stored it in the other Save. I open the Garage TWICE and there sits the converted DP/EP/EC/EC2 Black Vehicle! Now, I can save the game AGAIN and this DP/EP/EC/EC2 Black Vehicle will be included in the MAIN Save.

Mercedes can't get too far away from Tommy where a Yellow Blip is placed on your Radar indicating for you to go back to her location. If you save the game while she is away from Tommy, the game will crash! She must be in close proximity to Tommy when you're ready to save the game.

Note that after you save the game with the Marked Vehicle in the Garage, you must immediately reload or else the game will crash! Also, when you reload the Save with the Marked Vehicle and are ready to load up another Save to ultimately have the DP/EP/EC/EC2 Black Vehicle inside of, you have to be quick to do this or else the game will crash after a couple of seconds, as well!

While you can get DP/EP/EC/EC2 Black Vehicles inside an already completed 100% Save File, you also need to work with a random Save before passing "The Party" and have at least one Rampage available in that Save.

Not ALL Vehicle Models are available BEFORE "The Party" and even though you're getting DP/EP/EC/EC2 Black Vehicles in an already completed 100% Save, you still can't use Vehicle Models that don't exist BEFORE "The Party." Those Vehicles would be the Deluxo, Sabre Turbo, Sandking, Spand Express, Zebra Cab, FBI Rancher, Love Fist, Romero's Hearse, Skimmer, Sparrow, RC Goblin, and Cuban Jetmax. In ALMOST all cases, every single Vehicle Model itself can be stored inside of the Ocean Heights Safehouse Garage. The only exceptions are the Linerunner, Packer, and Hunter in which do not fit inside of the Garage. The Trashmaster is also a tight squeeze. You'll have to pop all four tires just to jam it inside. I do not think you will be able to use a Rhino even though it's available. There is just no way to bring it back from the West Island to the East Island.

The way I see it is if you're an Android 1.10 or iOS player, you can completely disregard the regular EC/EC2 Black Conversion from "The Party" since you can get DP/EP/EC/EC2 Black Vehicles which are superior and also can be done after 100%!
