The disclosure relates to methods for forming an omniphobic thermoset composition, such as an omniphobic polyurethane or epoxy composition. First and second thermosetting components are applied to a substrate and partially cured. A functionalized hydrophobic/oleophobic/omniphobic polymer which is reactive with at least the first thermosetting component is then applied to the coated substrate, which is then further cured to form a thermoset omniphobic coating on the substrate. The thermoset omniphobic composition has favorable omniphobic properties, for example as characterized by water and/or oil contact and/or sliding angles. The thermoset omniphobic composition can be used as a coating on any of a variety of substrates to provide omniphobic properties to a surface of the substrate. Such omniphobic coatings can be scratch resistant, ink/paint resistant, and optically clear. The thermoset omniphobic composition can be applied by different coating methods including cast, spin, roll, spray and dip coating methods.
