As in a lot of processes, surface preparation is important to the end product. Don't let anyone buff it to death though, so many Lugers ruined that way, with every sharp edge blurred !
The surface prep is where your challenges will be. The hot bluing is pretty basic stuff, not really difficult, in fact once you get the hang of it you will never have a gun blued again.
Keep sharp angles sharp and rounds, round. Don't funnel screw holes etc.
