Methods of forming a surface coating are provided. A first component can be applied to a surface and can include at least one adhesion promoter compound. The adhesion promoter compound can include (i) a furfuryl ring structure, (ii) a polymerizable reactive group, and (iii) an alkyloxy moiety linking the furfuryl ring structure to the polymerizable reactive group. A second component can be applied to the surface after the first component is applied to the surface, and the second component can include at least one fluorinated component including from about one to about 100 carbon atoms. The polymerizable reactive group can be polymerized to form a coating on the surface and the first component can improve adhesion of the second component to the surface.
