How do you guys normally run tile into a regular painted wall. I have the outside of a shower wall partition and an stumped as to what would look the best.

Would you space it and grout it?

Use a piece of stainless tile trim to finish it off?

Would you ever use caulk to finish it?

It's would be considered "hackish" to just leave the unfinished edge or to use caulk or (gasp) grout.

You should use a profile as Kev suggested or bullnose tile. I can tell you the Schluter profiles are much cheaper that the specialty tile bullnose pieces.

Check out Schluter Rondec (rounded) and Quadec (square) profiles. They are available in a lot of different finishes and also have inside and outside corners that look much better than mitres in some applications.
