OK. I just bought a 64 bug and the rear fenders are cracked/broken. There are two cracks about 1 inch high and 34 inches apart on the back of the fender. Can this be welded and prepped for paint, or is new fender purchase in my future?

If they are original fenders, they are probably worth repairing. The Reproductions I've seen are not too good. Find someone to weld them up for you. If it were me, I would gas weld them. Pretty easy to get to the back side of the weld with a dolly for metal-finishing.
