Has anybody engraved a Walther P99 slide?....How hard are they?....The gun is black....Is the gun blued or do they have a hard coating to make them black?

Those finishes can be stoned off. Get some Gesswein "roughing" stones to do the heavy lifting then polish out to desired level of finish.
I did a Sig Sauer that had this on it. It came off fairly well. The underlying stainless was hard but doable. I suggest avoiding any style requiring relief engraving. You will thank me later.
Thank You All for your responses....your input was appreciated
I turned the job down.....It was a lettering job on a gun being given to a retiring cheif of police....
