Airbrushing

I essentially just need a starting off point. Whilst I'm not able to experiment yet, I want to be in a good starting position when I am ready. I have been looking at various equipment sellers and am still unsure of what benefits a gravity feed gun has over a bottom siphon type.
Also the mixture used to spray, I have seen a few mentioned in various places, from only coloured cocoa butter to coloured cocoa butter mixed with cocoa butter to a 50/50 mix of coloured cocoa butter and chocolate. I'm just trying to find out a bit more about the process before I begin experimenting.

I've been looking into airbrushing for a while now but I have really been struggling to find good advice. I haven't even seen any books that cover this when working with chocolate and coloured cocoa butter, they all seemed to be aimed at cake decoration and coloured food dyes.
Whilst there is a fair amount online, most of it seems to be from experimenting hobbyists at home and I'm not sure that they are using the correct equipment or even food safe equipment in some cases!
Can anyone provide a link to somewhere that has a really in depth guide, or at least a good overview of the technique?
I'm between kitchen at the moment, for a month or two, so don't have anywhere to get equipment and practise just yet. However it would be great to use this time to brush up on my techniques.
Volume and weight of chocolate
Posted in: Tech Help, Tips, Tricks, & Techniques
Is there a way to work out mold size from weight?
Essentially I am looking to have mold made for 75 grams and require a certain thickness. I realised I don't actually know the weight/volume ratio of chocolate so can't work out the exact dimensions of the mold.
Does anyone have a formula for this or at least know the volume of 100g of chocolate so I can work it out from there?
Another one of those little questions that leaves me scratching my head when planning my start up.
