Nicolas,

In very simplistic chemical terms the AR solvents will not bother
cured/dry UR coatings. There might be a problem with adhesion plus
there would be an issue about the reliability due to the different
material characteristics of the product with this sort of combination.

AR coating can be easily dissolved by many liquefied organic compounds.
Thus the solvents (except water solvents and possibly UV cured solvents)

in spot applied UR materials will "attack" most  AR type finishes.

You might be required to "qualify" this process with your end users.

Good luck.
